AI can actually accelerate that cycle.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“The earlier I act in a depressive cycle, the easier it is to break it. But AI gives you the illusion of a conversation while keeping you stuck in place.” – Jonathan Green“Ask the awkward question. If you’re not sure whether someone’s joking or asking for help, just ask. The worst thing that happens is they tell you you’re wrong—and now they know you care.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“I don’t think there’s any AI tool yet that I’d trust as a standalone resource for my own daughter if she were depressed.” – Dr. Sonja Batten“We can’t afford to get it wrong in mental health. The stakes are too high.” – Dr. Sonja BattenKey Resource Mentioned:988 – Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.)If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 in the United States for immediate support and connection to local resources.
