AI chatbots for mental health: what do patients really think?

NCT ID NCT07658547

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This observational study surveys 150 adults with severe mental illness to learn how they use AI chatbots for mental health support. Participants answer a one-time anonymous online survey about their experiences, expectations, and concerns. The goal is to understand usage patterns and inform future mental health care, not to test any treatment.

What could go wrong
