Are AI mental-health chatbots any good for men?
As a place to think out loud at 2 a.m., between sessions, or before you're ready to talk to a person — sometimes, yes. The tools here range from CBT-style chatbots like Wysa and Youper to AI journals like Rosebud and Mindsera. Not one of them is therapy, and the honest ones say so on their own sites.
