People now ask ChatGPT to soften a draft, name the feeling underneath it, challenge their assumptions, argue the other side, or come up with kinder wording. That move away from straight productivity and toward emotional regulation and conversation rehearsal shows up in the 2026 numbers<\/strong>. RAND found that nearly 1 in 5 US adolescents and young adults use chatbots for mental health advice, up more than 40%, and Pew Research Center found that 10% of US adults use them for emotional support.<\/p>\n\n

The American Psychological Association says general-purpose bots can help with psychoeducation and between-session skill practice, but doesn’t recommend them for treatment.
