Danielle Carr, Assistant Professor at the Institute for Society and Genetics at UCLA, joins Emma to discuss mental health. The need for mental health treatment skyrockets during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rules changed allowing patients to get mental health medications easier to allow people to stay home and not be exposed to the virus. Online therapy outfits like BetterHelp stepped in. But was the treatment on these apps as good as traditional therapy?

Can you expand on The Better Help and the kind of explosion of these kinds of apps and quick fixes for mental health that I would imagine quite profitable for some of these startups? But does this have the same level of oversight that traditional doctor-patient relationships have? Like how have they been able to exploit this as a Marketplace? Because it seems quite dicey. Well, I'm glad to have the chance to talk about this. Because I think a lot of people don't realize this is happening. There was some coverage of cerebral specifically by The Wall Street Journal. And I want to say there was an investigative report by Bloomberg. But it didn't get as much of a press cycle as I thought it would. And of course, cerebral is not the only company doing this. They were just the most egregious. So one of the things that happened during covid of course there had already been telepsychiatry but the kind of sea change in the market had not yet happened. During covid the rule mandating that you have to see your provider in person at least once to get the prescription for schedule two medication so we're talking Adderall we're talking a bunch of Controlled Substances right. That rule was lifted for obvious reasons. but this is why there was suddenly this kind of we were all getting ads that were like do you want Adderall? You can basically have some. right on Instagram? and of course, there are these that are extremely profitable these are also it's not totally clear what forms of data these apps are collecting on us. So for instance Better Help is currently a class action lawsuit against Better Help because of the very poor privacy protections that were in place for what is, you know, an important medical encounter. And so there's a movement right now as you can imagine from these companies to lobby for instance to keep the rules that were instant for covid in place. Because a great deal of The Profit model depends on those loopholes. I think people should think very seriously about that. but so there's so like that's wrong right? We know that's wrong. But in another sense maybe even more Global sense and this is not to indict any of the very hard-working and well-meaning and often heroic medical providers who are working on these platforms albeit in an increasingly kind of gig economy model. Which results in you knowing degradations and quality of care. This is not to indict them at all. But just to say it's not totally clear that this is the type of thing that is going to really make a serious difference with population levels of mental and emotional distress.

I attending in person therapy at a place called best self in north Collins, ny. They prescribed drugs without a doctor overseeing. My couceller had a scale in her office and said that I had to weigh myself every week, if I ever lost weight, she told me she would have me institutionalised. I attended a therapy group called pros, in orchard park, NY. Counsellors let clients promote the great replacement theory during classes repeatedly. So sure, I imagine online isn't immune from weird shit happening.

@philwilson609 Год назад

Little known fact: Therapists are often unable to pay the rent or buy groceries. Some depend on public assistance. Many community mental health agencies are providing therapy to impoverished clients who are suffering from the stress, trauma and material struggles endemic to American poverty. The entire mental health industry is circumscribed by larger issues. The ad hoc, for profit, post pandemic mental health business is a meager answer to the enormous social mess that it is supposed to address. I worked in community health for 35 years and saw action on the front lines.

6:28 I agree, I think simply giving people the means to live a dignified life would go a long way to addressing mental health problems. I suffer from depression and anxiety, the causes of which are not related to broader societal issues, so I understand there's more to mental health problems than societal issues and we can't address all of it by just giving people money or decomodifying basic necessities, but mental health issues have become so wide spread over the past few decades and there needs to be societal solutions. A large portion of the population didn't just start experiencing personal trauma these past few decades, it was caused by the fact it's an immense struggle to just get by for the vast majority of people.

@avirichar4981 Год назад

So true, the overlaps of larger situational and conditional/positional types of difficulties/diseases/symptoms/diagnoses/illnesses/issues, overlapping in symptoms with the more specifically rooted and/or chronic kinds, as they mentioned in the vid's end really about the large umbrella thing...just serves to ignore actual distinctions, when people who have power but don't really care want to find whatever ways to confuse things (or just neglect to find ways to un-confuse them), as status quo corruption 101 in so many fields/industries. It serves their selfish interests to conflate things, and to on the other side of the same coin of profiteering, to create arbitrary nonsensical differentiations that are off track as well, and on and on in the modes of basically clever conniving, uncaring and really not at all smart in the long or short run, kinds of ways, harming society *and* economy, and stability of civil institutions, all at the same time, just for the sake of hyper-individualistic benefit at the expense of everyone. We really need to keep making clear what's real in ways like this (your post, and the vid), because the whole game for people who exploit others is to muddy things as much as possible, and pick off as many of the people stumbling around, trying to get by as a consequence, as they can. It's sad, and yes depressing and anxiety-causing, that this is how we have an ongoing unnecessary obstacle to everyone's well being, playing out, but it's one more changeable and preventable kind of version of these conditions/symptoms and natural reactions to an effed up, scary and grief-worthy reality that we don't actually have to societally and economically and politically leave as is (and where possible in its extensions, individually and interpersonally, but yeah, at scale especially).

@anecdotal_mattybs5435 Год назад

Enjoyed this conversation a lot. I was an aspiring therapist/psychologist until I went through university over here in the uk and discovered the fragility of many psychology academic egos. A lot of them seem intent on trying to prove that psychology is a science and that they can then treat everything “objectively” as manipulable variables in a big experiment that they are just observing. That would be fine, but unfortunately it feeds directly into the governments aspiration to treat therapy as something they can use and wheel out a lot of dodgy numbers and statistics on their shiny new(ish) IAPT (increasing access to psychological therapies) which is only there to get people back into work and paying taxes. Things like that are “evidence led” but only “treat” people who probably are just a little down and anxious because of all the stresses from the cost of living crisis, covid, extreme inequality etc. it looks good for both the professors who fudge the numbers on success rates and the government who says they are dealing with mental health. Meanwhile, those more seriously ill cannot find any treatments for actual long term conditions because the sappy psychologists are playing with their IAPT toys and trying to flog the concepts to other countries, ignoring more serious issues. Over here IAPT is becoming like a religion, being applied to everything in the most surface level, virtue signalling way, as if the world burning down around us can be treated in 6-8 sessions on how to re-frame things……..sorry ranting 🤦‍♂️😛

I think they nailed a huge proportion of the etiology of our current mental health epidemic: i.e. the extremely high cost of living arising from the unaddressed wealth and income inequality in this country. Therefore, it does make perfect sense to invest in social programs such as housing and food security, which is economically and socially less costly and more beneficial than medical interventions.

The issue isn’t seeing a person virtually / via Telehealth or telephonically. The issue are these fly by night, exploitative, get rich quick companies that ONLY offer online therapy and not within, and coordinated with a larger health care and social system. How experienced do you expect a clinical on said platform will be when they are not receiving fair compensation? Also, therapist often coordinate with psychiatrists and other members of a health care team? Where is the opportunity for that? Of course I understand we are more anxious and depressed due to systemic economic and social reasons too, but the issue of these new companies marketed directly to patients is an additional separate issue compounding the matter.

@tristessa771 Год назад

It's called the biopsychosocial model of mental illness. Biological, psychological, and social factors all play into it. And depression is a complex thing, there may be many different subtypes we're just all calling depression. Just because we don't fully understand something *right now* doesn't mean anything. We do know there is a biological basis for mental illness, the genetic basis is clear, but the diagnosing and treating of mental illness of course is not as cut and dry as prescribing an antibiotic for tuberculosis because we don't live in a Star Trek world and there are also psychological and social factors.

I can't afford a personal trainer, so I just go to the gym and act like I don't know how to work the machines, and a gym bro comes over to give me a hand. Pro gamer tip.

Why would you have any reason to not be humble? Like, who the fuck are you?

I do both and it's definitely been helping, i've been less prone to flipping my shit on my coworkers and my involuntary jerks have been less of an issue

at best it’s a step along the way toward getting real lasting help

yes.

Absolutely it is. Nowadays they tell everyone to get therapy just because. They want you all on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds and to always visit your therapist so they (pharmaceuticals and “therapist”) always have a nice income. this whole therapy renaissance has not improved anything at all if you take a step back and look at the big picture.

Eh... you sound like a 90s Fox News grandpa. Yes, the core problem is capitalism, and our therapy system is designed to get people back to work rather than primarily to get them help. That does not mean it's all a scam and should be thrown out. It just means you're a neurotypical and your neurotypical privilege has blinded you to the fact that it can still help people.

Hard disagree

Everyone should get therapy, just because. Therapy is not exclusively for people in crisis.

Therapists don't prescribe Psychiatrists, general practitioners, anrp, DO, PAs can. But LMHC'd therapists do not write prescriptions unless they are also one of the aforementioned class of providers. For the record, although most people can probably agree meds are relied on too heavily/quickly in America in particular, they are invaluable for many. If you don't understand the neurochemistry involved in illness (clinical depression, for instance, is a very real physical illness [inflammation 100%, altered activity in certain regions of the brain, reduced neuroplasticity, etc] that manifests as mental and cognitive deficits) or the pharmacological processes involved with the drugs used to treat those illnesses, then it's best to avoid speaking on it unless you like having eyes roll at you when you parrot the same old cliche "they want us drugged up" trope. Again... There's definitely truth to over prescribing in America in particular - this nation is the mecca of unconstrained capitalism, and drugs are extremely profitable in that setup. Look at the GLP-1 inhibitor Semaglutide (Ozempic) for a current example of irresponsible mass-scale drug peddling. But illnesses like depression and anxiety are real (undeniably so, and with a neverending stream of new proof) and a *good* medication choice can allow people to turn their shit around. It's a world of grey, nothing is black or white.

Most therapists can't prescribe. Meds have their place and can be very helpful, especially with organically based and inherent psychiatric issues, e.g. brain defect or schizophrenia, but some form of what is referred to often as talk therapy is essential. Your characterization isn't accurate, although there are always those who abuse their positions, in any field.
