Digital Psychosis: Social Media Algorithms & AI

As social media platforms become increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, immersive content, and algorithmic personalization, concerns are growing about how these technologies affect the mental health of teens and young adults.

Join Pand Health for a virtual family and community information night focused on understanding the psychological impact of today’s digital environment particularly the emerging phenomenon often referred to as AI-induced psychosis, including distorted thinking, paranoia, dissociation, and loss of reality testing.

This session will explore:

• How AI-driven social media content shapes perception, identity, and reality
• What clinicians are seeing related to AI-induced psychosis and related symptoms
• Warning signs parents, caregivers, and educators should be aware of
• Practical strategies to support healthy digital habits and mental wellbeing
• How to start productive, supportive conversations about technology at home

This event is designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and community members who want to better understand the risks and challenges young people face online and how to respond with knowledge and compassion.
