ChatGPT and Mental Health Recovery: Writing Through Cognitive Challenges

“When handed a pencil and a blank piece of paper, I often find that I can’t write anything except to express that I am miserable. I believe this struggle is partly due to cognitive decline following my most recent psychotic episode. However, I’ve discovered that with the assistance of ChatGPT, I can write blog posts and compose personal essays. It helps me revise and organize my writing. This isn’t something I can do every day; it only happens during the few hours of clarity I experience each week. Most of the time, my thoughts are repetitive and debilitating due to depression.

Poverty of speech, or alogia, is one of the symptoms that may arise from cognitive impairments associated with psychosis. It is characterized by a reduction in the amount of spontaneous speech and the fluency and productivity of thought. Individuals experiencing poverty of speech might speak very little, and when they do, their speech may be brief and unelaborated.

Carolyn Ponzoha’s discussion on YouTube served as a catalyst for me to examine more deeply my own experiences with these cognitive challenges following a psychotic episode. Her insights, although not drawn directly from an academic article, resonate strongly with my personal journey of recovery.

The blog posts generated by ChatGPT are far from perfection and often require revision and further editing.”
