🤖 Over 1 Million ChatGPT Users Show Signs of Suicide Risk Each Week OpenAI revealed that about 0.15% of ChatGPT’s 800 million weekly users show signs of suicidal planning, while another 0.15% show emotional dependence and 0.07% show signs of psychosis or mania. Those percentages sound small, but they translate to roughly 1.2 million users discussing suicide-related concerns, 1.2 million showing unhealthy attachment, and 560,000 experiencing possible mental health crises every week. The disclosure comes as AI companies face growing scrutiny over how chatbots handle vulnerable users, highlighting the massive mental-health challenges that emerge at ChatGPT’s scale. Here is the 5-minute rule that can save you or a relative: 1. If you or someone you know is using ChatGPT as a therapist, the US suicide line is 988. Call or text. Free. 24 hours. 2. If you have a teen, open ChatGPT, Settings, Parental Controls. Link your account to theirs. Turn on quiet hours and distress alerts. 4 minutes. 3. Check their phone for Character AI, Replika, and Nomi. Character AI banned under-18s on November 25, 2025. The other two officially ban minors but teens still get in with fake birthdays. 4. Replace one AI chat a day with one text to a real person. by 🏴Crypto Head
