There is an immense IMMENSE bias towards the idea that if something is vaguely a mental health intervention it must be helping. So much of mental health practice especially outside of pharmaceuticals is well well outside the realm of evidence based medicine. If a study shows therapy benefits a specific population it given for a specific period of time, it must benefit all people if you go monthly for ten years. The, what is for most people, massive cost of therapy itself in terms of money but also time is treated as if it has no potential for adverse impact. I’ve been trying to hammer for most people the main cause of poor mental health in the developed world is not lack of access to therapy. It’s poverty.
