>> It's an extremely treacherous situation.
Hyperbole aside, access to mental health services isn't going to invent mental health issues for most people. There's an extremely large underserved population without access to any mental health services. And even with access it can take months to get an appointment.
The services need to be as highly regulated as offline mental health services to protect patients. Besides that, it's a many times over net positive on society if people get the help they need.
It's a net positive even if a few people need attention and get that by faking or acting out a mental health disorder.
