Yeah, so if you say all of these young women feel abandoned because they were more likely to have divorced parents, that's not politically correct.

But you can talk about all of these young women need to be in therapy and they need to be healing their inner child and they need to be giving money to these industries because they feel a certain way.

We should be figuring out why they feel a certain way, why they're so dependent on the mental health industry.

But they think that, I think they think the reason they have an attachment disorder is that they are disordered.

They have an illness.

It seems to stop at the label, which is that I have a problem.

Whereas what I've tried to do is give some of the context to that because some of the context of that has ended up conservative coded.

That's when it becomes an issue.

Yes.

I genuinely get confused by some of the criticism because it does seem to me so progressive to be skeptical, at least, of these companies and to figure out the need.

It's sort of a Marxist idea.

What is the need that we have that is then being exploited and sold back to us?

So something like better help.

Why do so many young people think they need to be in therapy, young women especially?

And why are these companies, these online therapy companies, marketing themselves in a certain way?

So, for example, the therapy companies have now shifted to filling the role of almost parents where they'll say, you know, if you need to talk about dating or how you feel or your crush or exams, you can come to us.

Yeah, it's a friend.

Yeah, and a lot of it is like guidance that your parent would give you growing up.

Yeah, it is like that.

Yeah, so BetterHelp specifically have these adverts where they have a young woman and her dad.
