We regret the trend of mental health commentary on social media
Sherlock Holmes
You've shifted ground entirely. This isn't about hot dogs anymore, so I'll reset.
Your complaint assumes social media commentary on mental health is inherently harmful. But you're conflating exposure with damage. Increased discussion destigmatizes conditions, connects isolated people to communities, and normalizes seeking help. The real problem isn't commentary existing, it's that some of it is unqualified. That's a quality control issue, not an existence issue. Plenty of therapists, counselors, and advocates use platforms responsibly. So what's your actual argument, do you want mental health discourse gatekept behind professional credentials only?
