I finally understand why people are using AI for life advice.

A Reddit user with severe, treatment-resistant bipolar disorder, diagnosed in high school and now in their 30s, shared a new perspective on seeking life advice from AI. Despite years of various treatments, including medications, ECT, TMS, and ketamine, and still suffering most of the time, they found talking to AI about their condition surprisingly helpful. This experience offered them a fresh viewpoint after traditional methods had not fully resolved their issues.

This personal account highlights AI's potential for mental health support, offering a new perspective unlike traditional treatments that had not fully resolved the user's long-standing condition.
