As students head back to school, AI chatbots are also returning to the classroom - and becoming an increasingly common part of everyday life. With their growing popularity, some therapy patients have begun using these tools for mental health support. Many psychologists warn that AI should not replace professional care, citing concerns that chatbots may reinforce delusional beliefs or create an unhealthy dependence. However, they also acknowledge that AI can offer some benefits when used appropriately and alongside support from qualified professionals.

Psychologists report a sharp rise in patients turning to AI for mental‑health advice, support, and even companionship, highlighting both its growing influence and the significant risks of relying on chatbots over qualified professionals.

High school students, get ready to cheer loud during your Friday night lights because, believe it or not, you’re benefiting your well-being.

Helen Keyes, a cognitive psychologist, insists that being a part of a sports fandom and attending live sporting events can “increase a greater sense that your life is worthwhile”, reportedly even more so than job security. Being a part of a fandom alone increases one’s resilience, self-esteem, and social connectivity. Additionally, an organized game schedule exhibits structure in a fan’s life, where structure is comforting. Whether in person or from a TV screen, being a sports fan increases well-being.

Watching sports of all kinds, both in-person and on a screen, can have positive impacts on well-being.
