It’s 11pm. You can’t sleep. You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and your thoughts are spiralling. Instead of texting a friend or scrolling endlessly, you open a mental health app. Within seconds, a chatbot greets you: “Hi there, how can I help you tonight?” It asks you to rate your mood, suggests some breathing exercises, and offers supportive phrases like, “You’re doing your best.” It feels reassuring.
