1 in 5
That’s the number of adolescents aged 12 to 21 who reported going to an AI chatbot for mental health advice, according to a RAND survey of more than 1,000 young people published yesterday in JAMA Pediatrics. The survey, conducted in November 2025, showed an increase from the 13% who reported AI use in a similar RAND study from earlier in the year.

Among those who used AI, nearly 43% did so monthly, and about 92% rated the advice as at least somewhat helpful.

Chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT are becoming more common, but growing in parallel are major concerns about how these tools respond to mental health problems.

May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those facing mental health challenges.
Let’s take this opportunity to educate ourselves, show compassion, and stand behind initiatives that promote mental wellness in our community. Together, we can help create a more inclusive and understanding environment where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health.
Remember, it’s okay to ask for help—you are not alone. If you need assistance, we are always here. Call (781) 643-1212 or dial 911 in an emergency.

From our friends at STAT:

Skip the shroom chocolate?
Diamond Shruumz, an online dealer of psychedelic edibles such as mushroom-containing chocolate, sold products in 2024 that were associated with the poisoning of 177 people, along with two deaths, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report published yesterday.

People who ate Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars were significantly more likely to have seizures, and to be hospitalized and intubated, the report found. The outbreak started in Arizona and spread nationwide before the products were recalled, though apparently some of the recalled products were still available at several smoke and v**e shops, the CDC said.

The numbers here are obviously alarming — and it’s not an isolated incident, either. These types of products rarely contain psychedelic mushrooms and vendors often don’t disclose the active ingredients.

So, uh, not to be a narc, but if you’re eating shroom chocolate, be careful who you get your goods from.
