Maggie Maybe<a href="https://mstdn.ca/@TanekRune" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TanekRune</a> I hadn’t heard about <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/BetterHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BetterHelp</a> and <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a>. Ew. Thanks for sharing that, people should know how much they suck.

Maggie MaybeI have never used <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/BetterHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BetterHelp</a> but I am now convinced that very few of their therapists are actually people. I assume the therapist who used the toilet while doing a video session with a client was a person, and I’m willing to bet that the therapist she’s talking about in this video is an overseas admin assistant who screwed up copying and pasting. So a human, but not a therapist. But if you are texting with a better health therapist that you have never seen, why wouldn’t it be AI?

I'm on a PPO HDHP exactly because your therapy network sucks and I want my family to be able to get reimbursed for any therapist. We'll see what they say.

But because providers are a combination of automated and just self-reported with no real accountability structure or patient connection, ends up being a predatory system that takes people in the middle of a mental health crisis and puts them with people who have little credentials or experience, primarily united in their inability to maintain an actual practice of their own. In its conception, it was supposed to be like the Psychology Today database but with a built-in Telehealth function that immediately routes the user (not patient, user) to whichever therapist is currently available. Instead, having given little thought to the incentive structures and emergent outcomes, it's a ghoulish and dystopian twisting of mental health that puts those most in need and closest to a crisis with those least qualified, least invested, and least accountable. <a href="https://babka.social/tags/BetterHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BetterHelp</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a>

e.e.degrootSo I signed up for BetterHelp, even though it’s garbage and everyone says not to do it. I was just desperate, I guess, and I despise calling people and doing doctor searches and dealing with all that crap and this skipped all of it. So it took a day, but I was fascinated to discover that I was given a local accredited therapist. Is that unusual? I don’t know. We haven’t officially done our visit yet, but man, how nice would it be if this worked out and maybe I could just go see her in person and not pay gobs of money to a garbage app?<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/therapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#therapy</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/betterhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#betterhelp</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anxiety</a>
