in my food I'm not going to eat food so that's how the biological function gets impaired ⁓ the patient is not taking food so that is psychosis. Psychosis be found in ⁓ schizophrenia, and ATPD ⁓ are other like ⁓ personality disorder ⁓ these are ⁓ can just I can you know widely ⁓ that these are the disorders where a person can have psychosis and AI psychosis when I say so I I have a of patients now you know that are lot of rape cases going on in India. There a lot of news which is negative around the world. A lot of war is happening. So there is a patient who started saying that I am a part of Illuminati. Why? Because ChatGPT has told me. OK. Jeffrey Epstein is a demon. I am using ChatGPT so much that it is just a thought. Maybe initially it was just a thought but due to this abuse or overuse it created a psychosis Aakarsh Sharma: Right. Jyoti Glory Bernard: In some cases they may need therapy and medicines. This is making them anxious. Their sleep cycle is getting impaired. There is a loop happening. It is reassuring your thought whether it is a logical thought Aakarsh Sharma: Hmm. Jyoti Glory Bernard: ⁓ not letting you think. ⁓ is just feeding your illogical thought ⁓ the trap keeps going on and on and on. ⁓ they have not slept throughout the night ⁓ they keep researching, they keep reading about, they keep watching ⁓ ⁓ all stuff should be consumed what is there on social media ⁓ ultimately happens is they start ⁓ with logic but when get into Aakarsh Sharma: Mm-hmm. Jyoti Glory Bernard: into this loop, their logical thinking goes away, their rational thinking gets impaired. So there is no limit, they go beyond the limit. why ⁓ cannot do therapy.

But an interactive ⁓ platform is a yes man, it can really... ⁓ Jyoti Glory Bernard: AI not become the master. AI should work your assistant. I don't AI platforms but when I use it is mostly for writing an email. I don't use AI for making a treatment plan or notes. AI cannot do that. I am still not using AI as my master but I use sometimes as my assistant. So when you remove AI from the picture, yes, the family members and the friends can just give you a suggestion that maybe you need to see a doctor if you are having these kind of thoughts. Maybe you need to see a therapist. Maybe we can seek help online. Maybe we can go offline and see the professional in person. yeah, that makes very, you know, difference. Aakarsh Sharma: I I Jyoti Glory Bernard: I get Aakarsh Sharma: your time. Yeah. Okay. The last question I want to ask you is, the thesis of therapy is confidentiality at its heart and applications are prone to leaking data, what privacy issues might take place in the so-called therapy that they're taking from AI? Jyoti Glory Bernard: that ChatGPT data is not secured. ChatGPT can use it anytime. But when we come to therapy, it has to be ⁓ following the ethical guidelines. clinical psychologist, licensed clinical and the ⁓ associates, they follow the ethical And it's an offense. It's a offense if they, you leak the confidentiality. leak the patient's identity. In the US there are some HIPAA compliance AIs. is GPT which can be for making the therapy notes or you know they can use it for like therapists also use it sometimes for creating the notes, creating the treatment plans. Their documentation, must say ⁓ documentation in the US is So they have started using it. Maybe if someone wants to use an AI, ⁓ can ⁓ this. ⁓ I would still say confidentiality be taken care of. It can HIPAA compliant. But again, the when I say the treatment, it cannot do the treatment. So it's better that they should see a mental health professional in person or via online. Aakarsh Sharma: What services do you offer and how can people reach out to you for your services? Jyoti Glory Bernard: I been doing online therapy. So have continued with that. ⁓ They reach out to me on my WhatsApp number and they can also reach out to me via Gmail ID. They need to that they need ⁓ the session. ⁓ I usually see patients who with depression, personality disorders, anxiety and ⁓ with ⁓ So the severe cases because I refer the severe cases to the doctors when they the medication or other intervention. ⁓ But if are stable enough to ⁓ get the to understand ⁓ the concept the therapy, then these are the disorders ⁓ which I give treatment for. Aakarsh Sharma: Thank you so much for being part of the platform. Hope to... Jyoti Glory Bernard: Thank so much for inviting me.
