Description
İbrahim Karakaya and Onur Okan Demirci grade the answers chatbots give when people ask about a trauma therapy, in a 2026 study. With clinics hard to reach, more people ask AI tools about treatments such as EMDR, a therapy that uses eye movements to process painful memories. Wrong or muddled answers could mislead vulnerable readers. The team collected the questions real patients search for, using trend data to find them.
Twenty questions were sorted into four themes and put to several leading chatbots, including ChatGPT and Gemini. Experts then scored the answers for information quality and for how easily a lay reader could follow them. Comparing models side by side shows where chatbot teaching is sound and where it thins out. The authors frame the work as a safety check on a growing source of health advice.
