Therapists Urged to Screen for AI Chatbot Use as Mental Health Tool

A JAMA Psychiatry paper urges clinicians to routinely ask patients whether they use AI chatbots for emotional support or health information, arguing that such use can reveal how people cope with anxiety, depression, or relationship stress—and whether chatbots supplement or substitute therapy. Experts caution that AI tools are not therapy and may encourage avoidance of difficult conversations. The World Health Organization is forming a global consortium to guide responsible AI use in health, underscoring governance needs as AI tools proliferate.

Cutting a Son Out of the Will Over Grandkids Is Cruel and Shortsighted

Cutting a Son Out of the Will Over Grandkids Is Cruel and Shortsighted

A father seeks guidance after his wife wants to disinherit their son simply because the son doesn’t plan to have children. The column argues that punishing a child over a personal life choice is cruel and likely damaging, and suggests protecting the son’s interests in the will while addressing the wife’s grief. It explains that changing a will generally requires both spouses’ cooperation, recommends consulting an estate attorney, and urges a candid discussion with the wife about her motivations, with therapy (individual or couple) as a possible path to redirect her anger.

The Forties Regret: Losing Close Friends Amid Life’s Transitions

The Forties Regret: Losing Close Friends Amid Life’s Transitions

Therapists across Australia, the UK, and the US say the biggest midlife regret for people in their 40s isn’t career or money but allowing close friendships to fade during ages 28–38. The gradual loss often manifests as subtle isolation rather than dramatic fallout, and it can impact health and aging. Rebuilding is possible but requires deliberate, small actions (initiating contact, showing up, checking in). Men may be particularly vulnerable to losing close friendships. The piece emphasizes treating friendship as ongoing maintenance, much like fitness, rather than an automatic given.

The Quiet Grief of Forty: Mourning a Self That Never Arrived

The Quiet Grief of Forty: Mourning a Self That Never Arrived

Therapists report that people in their forties often grieve not over relationships or career but the loss of the future self they imagined—the so-called 'phantom life.' This midlife reckoning is quiet and internal: a gap between who they are and who they thought they’d become. The guidance centers on naming it as grief, separating mourning from regret, and seeking honest challenge from others to prevent identity from hardening; the goal is integration of the actual self with the imagined one, not a return to a past dream.

Staying Neutral When Family Drama Goes Public

A reader asks how to handle their son and daughter-in-law’s frequent public arguments around their toddler. The therapist explains the couple’s fights often place the parents in a triangle, acting as audience or mediator. Advice: don’t intervene mid-conflict, and in a calm moment acknowledge the tension and ask what you can do to make visits smoother—focusing on your own experience and boundaries rather than trying to fix their marriage; model steadiness and consider suggesting therapy if needed.

Synthetic DMT Trials Hint at Rapid Depression Relief With Guided Therapy

A phase II trial sponsored by Small Pharma (now Cybin UK) found a synthetic DMT formulation, delivered by injection with psychotherapeutic support, reduced depressive symptoms more than placebo after two weeks in 17 treated vs 17 controls. The study emphasizes the therapists’ role and notes the synthetic DMT yields a short, ~30-minute experience without vomiting (unlike traditional ayahuasca). While promising, the results are preliminary and require clinic-based administration, with broader context including FDA-approved ketamine therapy and ongoing psychedelics research.
