Mental health: although screens can play a negative role, more than 6 out of 10 people turn to artificial intelligence for psychological support
Summary
AXA and Ipsos's Mind Health 2026 report analyzes how screens and AI influence mental health across 18 countries, finding 46% struggle or languish and 61% already use AI for mental health topics. It notes AI's benefits (accessibility, 24/7 help) and risks (uncomfortable recommendations, potential harm), and emphasizes that AI should supplement, not replace, professional care. The study surveyed 19,000 adults.
