At the end the article foists everything upon mental health treatment. I see no evidence that that will be enough. What if your life just sucks?[1] A therapist can't snap their fingers and get you more money.

- wyldfire 7y agoLife sucks ergo violence? No, therapy can help you cope.
- snagglegaggle 7y agoMy wants are inconvenient so roll over and die quietly? Doesn't sound attractive.
- acollins1331 7y agoRight. I see all the stuff about mental health and getting people "help", but when it comes to the at risk type people I know and have known I seriously doubt some therapy would do much good. Some problems are very real and not imagined. They might be able to help you mask or deal with your anger/hate but treating the symptoms will only get you so far.
- coliveira 7y agoThe problem is exactly that psychological therapy was replaced by social networks. Instead of helping each other, they're incentivizing their criminal urges.
- wpietri 7y agoIf your life circumstances sucks, good mental health still means you won't blame it on women and/or do something horrifically violent to people unrelated to the causes of your problems. Instead, you'll turn toward fixing the problems. I will also note that the perception of having enough money is not very closely related to the amount of money you have. I have known people who are happy living on quite modest salaries, and people who feel like they're barely getting by on $500k/year. That's something therapists (and financial advisors) can definitely help with.
