More than 6 out of 10 people turn to AI for psychological support (axa.com) AI

An AXA and Ipsos Mind Health1 report finds mental health is worsening, with 46% of surveyed people saying they are struggling or languishing and two-thirds reporting negative effects from screen time. The study also reports that 61% already use AI for mental health questions and 42% of those users “almost always” follow its advice, though many express mixed views about quality and some report harmful or uncomfortable experiences. AXA says AI can help with early, supervised support but should not replace professional therapy and calls for better access to first consultations.
