@haidut said in Just like SSRI “antidepressants”, talk therapy likely no better than placebo:
The study below demonstrates that another pillar of mental disease treatment – talk therapy – likely works in more than 20% of the cases, and even then the magnitude of effects of probably small.
If one thing is certain, very few psychiatrists/psychologists are rated as trusted by their patients, and virtually none are loved.
This is probably a two way street, inside them as well. That's probably why the stat is dismal.
It never ceases to amaze me how conditioning of the public through manipulative mainstream media has managed to normalize not only sharing (and thus making available for profit-making) extremely private information with untrustworthy third parties, but that any attempt to question the effectiveness of professional psychological diatribe are vehemently condemned by both practitioners and public health officials.
Now chatbots.
Since it is now known that SSRI drugs were deliberately designed to keep the populace docile, servile and hierarchical, it is hard to believe that therapy (developed by the same commercial/medical/political interests that invented SSRI drugs) would have an effect any better than chemical “antidepressants”.
Some evidence seems to indicate a more recent intervention could do that too.
