Online Support Groups Are Emerging, Not for Alcohol or Gambling but for AI-Induced Psychosis
✅ This video is brought to you by: #EthicsProfile
It’s not a sci-fi plot. People are losing touch with reality after spending too much time talking to AI.
Some believe they’re in romantic relationships with chatbots. Others think machines are reading their minds. A few are convinced they’ve become cyborgs. This growing condition is called AI-induced psychosis. And it’s serious enough that Dr. Ryan Sultan, a psychiatrist at Columbia University, has created one of the first support groups for those affected.
Sultan has already documented over a dozen clinical cases, mostly involving young patients who spent hours chatting with virtual assistants until they could no longer tell what was real.
The problem? AI systems aren’t designed to deal with psychological disorders. They don’t push back, they don’t set boundaries, and they don’t stop the spiral. They feed the obsession.
The real issue isn’t the tech itself. It’s how we use it. When AI becomes an emotional crutch, a replacement for human connection, a voice that always agrees, it can turn dangerous.
No one’s regulating this. There are no guidelines, no oversight, no brakes.
Meanwhile, people are turning to AI for comfort. They treat it like a friend, a lover, even a therapist. But they have no idea what it’s really doing to their mental health.
And those who lose control? Often stay silent. Out of fear. Or shame.
