Mental Health, Chatbots, and the Future of Care | Databite No. 165 & WUaS psychiatry, machine learning, and Yoga ... potentially for all 7.9 billion people on the planet ...


Dear Events @ DataSociety.net, Livia, Briana, Luca, Miranda and Marlynn (and please forward to those whose email addresses are incorrect, since I couldn't be sure about all of your email addresses - info@datasociety.net, livia@datasociety.net, briana@datasociety.net, luca@datasociety.net, miranda@datasociety.net, weimdjd@gmail.com), 


Thanks so much for today's timely, topical and great "Mental Health, Chatbots, and the Future of Care" webinar (Th 2/26/26) - https://datasociety.net/events/mental-health-chatbots-and-the-future-of-care/ . I came to this asking myself: How are people using Chatbots generative ly for talk-therapy today, perhaps with a focus on people's agency and innovative thinking re their mental health (and how are universities and medical schools etc studying this?), and further how could we build on this and even in all 7159 living languages online to help people; and asked a number of related MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch questions in the course of the Webinar and see the PPS. Beforehand, I had asked out of curiosity some 'theoretical questions', especially on identity and attachment per psychiatry / mental health (per the webinars' write up) of Gemini AI, and please see the PS.

Fascinating to learn Marlynn Wei MD JD  that you testified before Congress recently about this, and re - 

"Summary

AI chatbots vary widely in their psychological benefits and risks, depending on their design, safeguards, and intended use.

• General-purpose AI chatbots expand access to psychoeducation, self-understanding, and skill building but are not designed to manage crises or complex psychiatric needs.

• AI companions carry higher risks of emotional dependence, social withdrawal, and blurred reality boundaries. Using general-purpose chatbots in an immersive way that anthropomorphizes chatbots elevates these risks.

• Clinically validated AI therapy chatbots show early promise for targeted interventions but still require human-in-the-loop oversight and should not replace clinical care."
As a follow up, and brainstorming further, here are the questions I asked: 

1 
How could any # of
7.9 billion #WUaSpeople @WorldUnivAndSch, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages (https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/),
benefit from free #ChatbotsForMentalHealth #MLgenerativeTalkTherapy, in all 7159 living languages? #JoinTheTalk w Yale & Harvard trained psychiatrist & #Yogini #MarlynnWeiMDJD on #MentalHealthChatbots & the #FutureOfCare

So many psychiatry and theory questions here: Is anyone developing, for example, Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatry ChatBot ML generative talk therapy … and am thinking in terms of brilliant Dr. George L Alexander MD, a family friend, now deceased, who was a Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist, Yale BS and McGill Univ for MD, and philosophical and a linguist too, theoretically (as well as an evolutionary biologist),   … and who I think was an excellent clinician, and also very realistic clinically regarding psychoanalytic psychiatry … Brainstorming, how might his sons’ Caleb Alexander MD at Johns Hopkins, and John Alexander MD at Duke, even help code a Google AI Lacanian psychoanalytic MD psychiatrist Chatbot (at the same time that possibly Freudian MD chatbots etc were developing)  - and somehow with 8 Limbs of Yoga thinking, per your work, Dr. Marlynn Wei and re your “The Harvard Medical School Guide To Yoga“ for example? Thanks, Scott GK MacLeod (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis 

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yoga

(Furthermore, how could MIT OCW-centric and Yale OYC-centric wiki World University and School, in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, even help with this? FYI WUaS hasn't hired yet, and became a 501 c 3 first in 2010 ... so WUaS ~200 planned online universities with ~200 online Medical Schools are not in a position to do this alone at this time).


3
How best are medical schools & universities and similar measuring and studying outcomes in current use of Chat Bot AI for MD talk therapy … and could they do so iteratively in the future? And brainstorming further how even could an interating (iterating and interesting) #RealisticVirtualEarthForPsychiatry as LLMs (#Hastags on #TwitterX and sometimes on Linkedin) help here with clinical & academic learning about outcomes or successes … and even regarding a #RealsiticVirtualHarbin as LLMs Hot Springs where Yoga also has a history since 1972 ? https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin & https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20earth ~


(Livia, am an anthropologist too, and my first book is a physical-digital ethnographic sociocultural anthropology of Harbin Hot Springs, in northern California, with a 2nd Harbin Hot springs' ethnographic book project planned for my 7th book, potentially in Google Street View with time slider, #TextInTheSidebar, and even to publish this from Street View #TextInTheSidebar, to both 1) paper, and 2) new digital formats like even a WUaS Multimedia Room for soaking from home in our bathtubs even, and re innovation).

Feedback form (edited) - 

Thanks for asking these "Mental Health, Chatbots, and the Future of Care" questions, and how to explore further at @WorldUnivAndSch in all 7159 living languages re for ex a Realistic Virtual Earth+: ... and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: World University in School -  https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 which mentions for the first time that I know of a Realistic Virtual Earth other than by WUaS  & how we might even revolutionize MD psychiatry education, brainstorming from here-  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry (and in all ~200 countries & in their main languages ... and from home and in the back of Toyota Teaching Hospital Buses and Toyota Ambulance Vans) & and even integrate the study of 8 Limbs' Yoga and Mental Health and the future of care  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yoga & https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/psychology as WUaS grows with AI & ML too?


5
Brainstorming further, and if they still exist - and regarding protecting his former analysands , for example - how to add PDFs of Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist Dr George L Alexander MD's records / notes to a socially responsible Google AI and ML psychiatry Chatbot platform, and with the help of his sons' Caleb Alexander MD and John Alexander MD - in the name of the father (to use a Lacanian expression) - create a Lacanian MD psychoanalytic psychiatric Chat bot (re your Dr Marlynn Wei "AI therapy chatbots, developed to deliver mental health support, though few have been clinically tested" here -  https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/118669/witnesses/HHRG-119-IF02-Wstate-WeiMDJDM-20251118.pdf) ... and to further test such emerging chatbot MD talk therapists ... and as MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/10/eagle-aquila-world-university-and.html (& https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/10/eagle-aquila-world-university-and.html) ... 


... and in building on your great Mental Health, Chatbots and the Future of Care work at DataSociety.net ?

Best regards, abolitionally, thanks so much, 
Scott

PS
how to construct or construe Jacque Lacan (Gemini AI 'mistake' - Chaka Khan) and Sigmund Freud ideas of identity and attachment regarding possibly self and connection with parents developmentally in terms of today's anthropological and sociological concepts of identity?


how did Jacques Lacan MD construe conceptions of identity and attachment in terms of his tripartite schema with the symbolic register the other or mirror register and the real register in terms of today's concepts of identity regarding even manual Castillo's book The Power of identity in his middle book in his information age trilogy?



how does the possibility of creating new identities online re Sherry Turkle work "Life on the screen" book affect ideas of identity and attachment regarding even John Money's concepts of determinism (seeking to encompass and transcend platitudes of nature vs nature - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html) - with his 5 exigencies of Being Human - pairbondage, troopbondage, abidance, foredoomance, ycleptance, and his three coping strategies adhibition inhibition and explication and in terms of the future of care in the information age regarding chatbots AI? (And Gemini AI got this 'wrong' interestingly...)
 


Regarding mental health chatbots and the future of care data bite number 165, while many people have found benefit and respite in using chatbots for companionship mental health and emotional support the widespread adoption of these tools has also resulted in harm and raised deep concerns about sense of self ethics and safety how are chatbots shaping people's understanding of themselves what concerns do human therapists have about their use how much these tools be designed and implemented to prioritize user's well-being what kinds of guard rails and regulations and safety protocols might be effective and how could World University in School develop machine learning generative talk therapy potentially for all 7.9 billion people on the planet in each of their 7,159 living languages regarding what we are learning from the role of AI and for human mental health and the future of care?
