So for example, therapy.

The therapy companies don't say, you know, you need therapy if you have severe trauma or you have this disorder.

They say everyone needs therapy.

That's literally the tagline.

And then some of the reasons for therapy that influencers will give will be

first date nerves or exam stress and so you end up convincing young people that they all need this assistance and then what's happening is you have such a demand because it's everyone is human and it's impossible to heal from that so everybody has an issue

And then the therapy gets diluted down.

So when I say therapy, you probably think of like in-person therapy.

That's not what my generation thinks therapy is.

So in the 2010s, it became emailing a therapist, which you can do through BetterHelp and Talkspace.

Then it wasn't emailing a therapist.

Then it was texting a therapist.

Then it was texting a therapist 24-7.

So you have a therapy room, which is like a conversation where you can message them any time with an issue or a need, which is not what therapy is supposed to be.

And all the advertisements are like, never have to leave the comfort of your room.

So it's playing into the risk aversion and anxiety of young people.

Now the therapist doesn't even have to be human.

It could be an AI chatbot or a mental health app.

And so I think I'm often skeptical of therapy and people say to me, you know, therapy is really valuable.
