In episode 514 I chat with Dr Ronald Nicholson. Ron is a clinical psychologist.

We discuss why it’s important to talk about artificial intelligence (AI) and OCD, AI and reassurance, how AI can play into compulsions, cognitive struggles due to over reliance on AI, the detriment of the loss of engagement with other humans, technology reducing distress tolerance, the future of mental health in this AI age, and much more. Hope it helps.
