Professional and public-health guidance emphasizes limits of evidence, human expertise, careful risk governance and access to human-led support.
A 2017 randomized study evaluated Woebot, a CBT-oriented conversational agent, against an information control over two weeks in a nonclinical college population. This is evidence about that tool and study, not all chatbots or clinical populations. APA guidance distinguishes general-purpose generative chatbots from tools designed for mental-health care and cautions about evidence and risks. Its guidance lists 911, 988 and emergency departments for immediate live help in the United States. HRSA’s 2025 brief reports that 40% of the U.S. population lived in a mental-health professional shortage area as of December 2, 2025. WHO’s 2026 discussion emphasizes clinical and research expertise, governance and data for responsible mental-health AI.
