Welcome to the future of feelings—where your next therapist might be... an app.
In this episode of Unusual Practice (UP), we explore the world of AI therapy and mental health chatbots, asking the question: can artificial intelligence really help with real emotional stuff?
From self-help apps that serve up digital wisdom at 3AM, to chatbots for mental health that claim to understand your anxiety better than your best friend, we unpack the innovations in the future of mental wellness.
Spoiler: some of them are actually helpful. Others? Slightly terrifying.
If you’ve ever trauma-dumped on a chatbot or asked Siri for life advice, this one’s for you.
