Ep 26: Can using AI chatbots cause delusions?!

Experts say yes, and the cases have been rising over the past year. Our guest, Julia Sheffield, PhD, shares how she was certainly surprised last summer when she encountered her first patient in her clinic that primarily treats people with psychosis, where she realized the person's delusions were triggered by using AI chatbots....and continued to see more patients trickling in with delusions caused by the use of AI chatbots. She talks to Equilibria psychologist, Erika Kawamura, PsyD, about what AI-induced delusions are, what makes a person more susceptible to experiencing them, and what individuals and loved ones can do to reduce risk. Dr. Sheffield is a clinical psychologist, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Jack Martin MD Research Professor in Psychopharmacology, and a Co-Director of the Psychosis Emphasis Internship in Professional Psychology.

We are honored to have as our guest, Dr. Elisabeth "Eli" Sheff, PhD, one of the handful of global experts on polyamory and international expert on children in polyamorous families. She has a PhD in sociology, has studied s*x and gender minority families for over 30 years, and has written multiple books on polyamory. She also provides relationship coaching and serves as an expert witness in court cases related to child custody, non-monogamy, and polyamory. She talks with Equilibria therapist, Kevin Fillipelli, MS, NCC, LPC, about relationship diversity, polyamorous families, and the importance of effective communication. They also discuss the court trends in child custody and her findings from a longitudinal study on the impacts on kids from polyamorous families and whether they experience any more increased mental health issues in comparison to any other kids from non-polyamorous families (e.g. parents in a monogamous relationship, biological parents who were never married or been divorced, separated, or widowed).

The Grief Center of Excellence is excited to invite you to our virtual support group!

Navigating the journey of grief is a difficult experience we face. While the pain of loss is unique to each of us, we don’t have to walk through it alone. Our free monthly virtual grief support group provides a safe and compassionate space to connect with others who understand.

You are invited to join a community where your feelings are welcome, your memories are honored, and your story is heard. Each month, we focus on a specific aspect of the grief journey such as common responses to grief and how to cope, expressing and managing emotions, and finding ways to honor your loved one’s memory. The group will be facilitated by a licensed professional counselor who specializes in grief. The facilitator will guide the discussion and offer tools for grief management support.

This group is open to any adult (18+) who is located in Pennsylvania who has experienced the loss of a loved one. The days and times we are meeting and topics being covered are as follows:

Thursday, February 26 2026 from 6:30pm-7:30pm – Grief and Your Body: Exploring Self-Care
Thursday, March 26 2026 from 6:30pm-7:30pm – Common Misconceptions About Grief
April 2026 – Grief and Identity: Exploring the Loss of Roles
May 2026 – Grief and Relationships: Navigating Boundaries & Social Dynamics
June 2026 – Anticipatory Grief

Registration will occur monthly for the upcoming meeting.

Before you ban all video games from the house or roll your eyes with negative judgment when your kid wants to play video games, let's hear what Zhiying (Zoey) Yue, PhD, a scientist at Digital Wellness Lab at the Boston Children's Hospital, has to say about how video games can serve as an important role in children's developmental process in the areas of autonomy, relatedness, and competency. She talks to Equilibria therapist, Jonathan Mauger, MS, LPC, about how video games are not how they used to be during the parents' generation, and how the real-time interactions can have benefits to facilitating a positive and healthy development in kids. With that said, they also discuss the harmful impacts that video games can have and the caveats that parents should look out for when their kids are starting to develop an unhealthy relationship with video games and experiencing the potential mental health impacts from them. They also share tips on what parents can do to foster healthy use of video games for their kids.
