AI Psychosis Explained by Psychiatrist

Описание: The term “AI psychosis” has started circulating online — often paired with dramatic stories about delusions, sentience, or spiritual revelations.

But what’s actually happening?

In this video, I break down what people mean when they use the term “AI psychosis,” and explain the much subtler psychological phenomenon I’m seeing more often in clinical practice: reduced reality testing.

AI doesn’t just provide information — it provides conversation. And when something feels socially responsive, coherent, and confident, it can become more persuasive than we realize. Not because it’s true… but because nothing is pushing back.

In this video, we cover:
What “AI psychosis” actually refers to
Why AI can feel unusually convincing
Who may be more vulnerable to destabilizing effects
The subtle erosion of reality testing
How to use AI as a tool — without letting it replace other minds

If you use AI regularly for thinking, decision-making, or exploring ideas, this discussion may be especially relevant.
