How is AI chatbot use impacting young people with developing brains?

Children, teens, and young adults under 25 are especially vulnerable to the psychological impacts of intensive AI chatbot use. Their pre-frontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for judgment, impulse control, and decision-making—is still developing, making it harder to recognize unhealthy patterns or resist compulsive behavior.

Many parents don't realize their child isn't just gaming or on social media—they're spending 6, 10, even 14 hours a day in isolated, solitary conversations with AI chatbots. What starts as curiosity can escalate into concerning behavioral changes:

What families are noticing:

Social withdrawal: No longer taking pleasure in spending time with friends or participating in activities they once enjoyed
Isolation: Trading real relationships and hobbies for hours of solitary digital interaction with AI
Behavioral changes: Increased anxiety, depression, rumination on negative or violent themes, or self-harm
Excessive usage: Spending 6-14 hours daily with chatbots instead of engaging with family, friends, or the real world
Mental health decline: New or worsening diagnoses of depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders or suicidality
