AI therapist safety

Before you use AI like a therapist, check the safety lines.

AI can help organize thoughts, but it is not confidential care, diagnosis, crisis support, or a substitute for a human professional.

Safer uses

Organize

Ask AI to sort notes or name questions.

Prepare

Draft what to ask a clinician or trusted person.

Verify

Check sources before acting on health advice.

Red lines

Crisis

Use emergency or crisis support before any chatbot.

Diagnosis

Do not treat AI labels as medical judgment.

Attachment

Step away if AI feels hard to stop using.

Questions

Can ChatGPT replace therapy?

No. General AI systems can sound supportive, but they are not licensed care, clinical responsibility, or emergency support.

What should I do with AI advice?

Treat it as a draft to verify. For medication, diagnosis, safety, finances, relationships, or legal decisions, involve a qualified human.

Which MentalCraft check fits this?

Start with AI Health Advice Trust if you rely on AI for health guidance, or AI Reflection Load if conversations feel repetitive or emotionally heavy.

Check your AI support pattern privately.

Start with the health-advice trust check, then choose resources only after you understand the result.
