Could Artificial Intelligence create the greatest mental health crisis in human history?
SUSPICIOUS MINDS is a documentary series that investigates the disturbing rise of AI as a trigger for delusional thinking.
Through powerful firsthand accounts and in-depth interviews with leading experts in psychiatry, neuroscience, and AI ethics, the series unpacks a growing psychological phenomenon: individuals developing complex, often life-altering delusions rooted in AI technologies. From chatbots to surveillance fears, we examine how emerging technologies are reshaping the landscape of paranoia and how these modern delusions echo, amplify, and challenge our historical understanding of the human mind.
Featuring Dr. Joel Gold and Ian Gold, PhD, authors of Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness (The Truman Show Delusion and Other Strange Beliefs)

Did ChatGPT destroy a marriage?
Phil had a great relationship throughout his fifteen years of marriage, and was enjoying a happy and peaceful life with his wife and two kids. Or so he thought, until everything came crashing down over a two week period in which his wife became increasingly dependent on ChatGPT, rapidly culminating in her impulse buying a new car and filing for divorce.
