Small-Scale Question Sunday for September 29, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Adding to the eager cacophony. I am especially interested in longitudinal controlled comparatives on a definitional level, since my own private biases are that treatment has advanced incrementally, but diagnostic precision has degraded. Every time a lefty youtuber fellates BetterHelp as a therapy tool I cannot help but suspect a combination of pathologizing and subconscious repetition of therapyspeak is contributing to the 'mental health crisis' more than any incidence of mentally traumatizing events.

Would love to know more from those in the trenches, even if my biases are proven wrong.
