Editor’s Note: During our discussion of AI, we reference that some students are turning to AI tools for mental health support. This episode is not intended to suggest that AI should replace licensed mental health professionals. AI may be a helpful source of information or support for some people, but it should be viewed as a complement to, not a substitute for, professional mental health evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
