It’s cheap, quick and available 24/7, but is a chatbot therapist really the right tool to tackle complex emotional needs?

Eating, getting dressed, and talking with real people are all good things for your mental health. Typing on a keyboard doesn’t help, otherwise we’d be the least depressed generation ever.

I agree that typing on a keyboard isn't a substitute for therapy. Writing can serve as an creative outlet for emotion in the same way as music or painting.
