Re: Therapy on Social Media

Definitely hate what it is now. Before 2020-ish (and probably even before that, so at the very least mid-2010s), it was a nice idea to have more awareness and information available on mental health - especially for people who are trying to understand anything they've been recently diagnosed with OR for anyone trying to understand what might be wrong with them while finding symptoms that may resonate with them.

Now so many either take advantage of people who are unwell (such as convincing people to get specific apps or go to online therapists who have about as much of a qualification as a rotted chestnut), spread misinformation (along with harmful points of view like 'if you think bad things than you're probably a bad person' in response to someone describing something that sounded like OCD), and the whole thing with 'fake disorders' tiktoks - which has people making a whole career out of publicly making fun of 'fake mental illness' by their own standards and, more concerning, people who may be making a cry for help by acting out conditions they don't have.
The latter I know can be a mix bag depending on the individual since there are those taking the piss - but there's definitely those who are going through something and what's worrying is that there's a lot of kids/young people who are participating who may not have any support irl and are 'seeking attention' in a new generation of people raised by technology. The same kind of arguments where people accuse tv/video games/the internet of corrupting the youth without looking into the fact that children/teens are being left unsupervised or without education on navigating the internet safely - so when they seek help or a sense of community with strangers, it can put them at risk of dangerous people or the kind of people who disregards boundaries and take a toll on their emotional health.

As for your last point: To be fair, yes it can, but the same can happen for adults seeking help or a sense of community online, too. Seen a lot of adults, particularly young adults, being cyberbullied literally to death along the years. The internet of today is full of disgusting people, unfortunately, and we all should learn how to navigate better - which websites are appropriate for each age group, how much personal information should be made public (and, ahem, maybe corporations shouldn't try to synchronize our entire lives how about that) etc. We all should treat each other better, corporations included. Kids have every right to have fun online, and adults too.

That is true! I suppose I was a bit more heavy on the kids aspect because potential internet censorship in the UK is currently on my mind - and of course the big reason the government going with is 'to protect the children' (which of course never involves actually protecting children, but censoring everything deemed inappropriate for everyone - which is a different matter entirely from the point of mental health).

But yes, I do agree with your point.
