@nixCraft Maybe I'm too old for that, but the very idea of doing online mental health counseling is baffling to me. And trusting a purely commercial company with my most private thoughts and feelings would never occur to me.

Of course, times are changing, along with personal risk assessments, but I wonder where people's personal responsibility comes in.

@riaschissl @nixCraft telehealth *can* be very effective for many mental health conditions (research on this), but I don't think the big companies doing this are investing in the kinds of interventions and professionals who can make those gains happen in large numbers.
