Support Group Launches for People Suffering "AI Psychosis"

An unknown number of people, in the US and around the world, are being severely impacted by what experts are now calling "AI psychosis": life-altering mental health spirals coinciding with obsessive use of anthropomorphic AI chatbots, primarily OpenAI's ChatGPT. As we've reported, the consequences of these mental health breakdowns — which have impacted both people with known histories of serious mental illness and those with none — have sometimes been extreme. People lost jobs and homes, been involuntarily committed or jailed, and marriages and families have fallen apart. At least two people have died. There's yet to be a formal diagnosis or definition, [...]

Recruits With Heart Failure, Some Mental Health Issues Can't Join Military: Hegseth

Recruits With Heart Failure, Some Mental Health Issues Can't Join Military: Hegseth Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),People who want to join the military cannot do so if they have congestive heart failure or one of a dozen other conditions, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a memorandum released on July 22.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington on June 26, 2025. Madalina Kilroy/The Epoch TimesBeing treated for schizophrenia, having a history of paraphilic disorders, or suffering from multiple sclerosis are other conditions that are ineligible for medical accession waivers, Hegseth said.“America’s warfighters must be physically and mentally capable of performing their duties in the harshest of conditions,” Hegseth wrote in the memo, which is dated July 11. “Severe underlying medical conditions introduce significant risks on the battlefield and threaten not only mission priorities, but also the health and safety of the affected individual and their fellow Service members.”Medical waivers allow applicants for military service to serve even though the applicants have a current or past condition that means they do not meet military standards. Approximately 13 to 16 percent of applicants were rejected for not meeting the standards from fiscal year 2016 through fiscal year 2020, according to the Department of Defense’s inspector general.The full list of conditions newly ineligible for the waivers includes the following:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisCurrent chronic supplemental oxygen useCurrent congestive heart failureCurrent epilepsyCurrent treatment for schizophreniaHistory of cystic fibrosisHistory of receiving a solid organ transplantHistory of paraphilic disorders, or disorders involving abnormal sexual interests or behaviorsMultiple sclerosisOsteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bone diseaseSuicidal attempt(s) within the previous 12 monthsThoughts or plans of killing another person within the previous 12 monthsTrisomy 21, or Down syndromeThe list of conditions for which secretaries of military departments are the only officials who can now approve waivers includes the following:Current central nervous system shuntsCurrent ostomyEye missing or lack of vision in at least one eyeFoot missingHand missing, or bony portion of hand missing, excepting digitsHistory of chronic hepatic failureHistory of chronic kidney disease requiring dialysisHistory of corneal transplantHistory of disorders with psychotic features, including schizophrenic disordersHistory of myocardial infarction, or heart attacksHistory of neurodegenerative disorders, such as disorders affecting the spinal cordHistory of scleroderma, a disease that features tight skin and tissueHaving an implanted pacemaker or defibrillatorThe Department of Defense, in its most recently updated military standards from 2024, had said that a number of the conditions now deemed by Hegseth as ineligible for waivers could be eligible for waivers.Waivers for medical and other conditions are widely used. Just 23 percent of America’s youth were eligible to enlist without a waiver, a defense official told reporters in 2024.The Pentagon said the updated medical waiver eligibility is aimed at making sure America’s military has high standards and stays ready to fight.“The Department remains committed to mission success by ensuring that the young Americans who serve are physically and mentally capable of performing their duties in the harshest conditions,” Sean Parnell, the department’s chief spokesperson, said in a statement.

Chinese and EU leaders held a meeting Thursday as the 25th EU-China summit got underway. President Xi described the bilateral relationship as “mutually beneficial,” saying the ties had become all the more crucial as geopolitical tensions mount globally. “We have reached an inflection point. Rebalancing our bilateral relation is essential,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.As Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to deepen ties with the European Union, the bloc’s top official raised concerns over a growing trade imbalance, underscoring the strains beneath the diplomatic niceties.Chinese and EU leaders held a meeting Thursday as the 25th EU-China summit got underway.Xi described the bilateral relationship as “mutually beneficial,” saying the ties have become all the more crucial as geopolitical tensions mount globally. “The more severe and complex the international situation is, the more China and the EU should strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, and deepen cooperation,” Xi told the EU leaders, according to a translation by CNBC.European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, however, struck a firmer tone, urging the Chinese leader to address the rising trade imbalance between the two major economies.“We have reached an inflection point. Rebalancing our bilateral relation is essential,” she said, according to the official readout, stressing that both sides needed to “acknowledge respective concerns and come forward with real solutions.”Trade tensions globally have taken centerstage this year, with the EU-China relations strained by Beijing’s export of excess industrial supply amid weakening domestic demand.The bloc, which China counts as its second-largest trading partner, raised tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles last year in an effort to protect its domestic industry, drawing Beijing to launch anti-dumping probes into European brandy, dairy and pork.“What we have seen is a reiteration of both sides’ respective positions,” said Daniel Balazs, a research fellow at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, highlighting the underlying differences in the two sides’ objectives.The EU wants “more balanced economic ties” and for China to do more in bringing Russia to the negotiating table over the Ukraine conflict, but Beijing seeks to reverse the EU’s restrictions on Chinese firms and duties on its electric vehicles.Earlier this month, Von der Leyen said that China was “enabling Russia’s war economy.”In the first half of this year, China had a goods-trade surplus of nearly $143 billion with the European Union, 21% higher than a year earlier, according to official customs data.

President Xi described the bilateral relationship as “mutually beneficial,” saying the ties had become all the more crucial as geopolitical tensions mount globally. “We have reached an inflection point.

Rebalancing our bilateral relation is essential,” she said, according to the official readout, stressing that both sides needed to “acknowledge respective concerns and come forward with real solutions.”Trade tensions globally have taken centerstage this year, with the EU-China relations strained by Beijing’s export of excess industrial supply amid weakening domestic demand.The bloc, which China counts as its second-largest trading partner, raised tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles last year in an effort to protect its domestic industry, drawing Beijing to launch anti-dumping probes into European brandy, dairy and pork.“What we have seen is a reiteration of both sides’ respective positions,” said Daniel Balazs, a research fellow at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, highlighting the underlying differences in the two sides’ objectives.The EU wants “more balanced economic ties” and for China to do more in bringing Russia to the negotiating table over the Ukraine conflict, but Beijing seeks to reverse the EU’s restrictions on Chinese firms and duties on its electric vehicles.Earlier this month, Von der Leyen said that China was “enabling Russia’s war economy.”In the first half of this year, China had a goods-trade surplus of nearly $143 billion with the European Union, 21% higher than a year earlier, according to official customs data.
