I'm far too lazy to create a throwaway and posting here gives me plausible deniability if I was ever to be sued by the company. Just a theory, right? Right. Now we're on the same page.
Better Help is a subscription pased therapy service for those struggling with, as they call it, "simple" mental health problems. Internal lingo not my own. If you have very severe issues they will usually refer you to a physical psychological professor with an office whom you can see on your own term.
Im quite certain you have seen their ads on Youtube. Of course, Better Help has very real and very helpful therapists. Available for video or phone call to help with any of your day to day mental health needs. I'd never knock the endless help this company has done for many MANY people.
However, if you use the text feature to speak to your therapist. You are speaking to an AI, most of the time. Id say around 45 to 55 percent of the time. The therapists. Are actually quite unaware of this for the most part and are not to blame. If you enjoy working your issues out with an algorithm than who am I to tell you what's best for you.
If you have mental health problems, I'd implore you to find a doctor or a therapist you can meet in person.
