Abigail Shrier认为现代精神健康状况恶化,部分原因是过度治疗、过度诊断和精神药物滥用,以及将原本健康的人认定为不健康。她特别关注儿童,认为儿童更容易受到不良治疗的影响,因为他们无法自行决定是否需要治疗,也更容易被治疗师影响,接受不必要的诊断和治疗。她认为,正常的悲伤和焦虑被过度病理化,正常的儿童行为被诊断为疾病,这导致了对人类情绪的过度医疗化。她还指出,过度关注儿童的情绪会引发负面反应,使他们的问题恶化。她认为,现代社会中,学校、父母和社会都在推行这种“不良治疗”,导致儿童过度依赖治疗,缺乏独立性和冒险精神。她认为,心理治疗的益处取决于个体需求和年龄,对于需要治疗的人来说,它可能非常有益,甚至挽救生命;但对于那些不需要治疗的人,特别是儿童,它可能会适得其反,加剧他们的问题。她认为,许多心理治疗方法,例如过度关注情绪、诊断、治疗依赖以及对自身能力的怀疑,都会对儿童造成负面影响。她还指出,研究表明,心理治疗有时会使人们感到更糟糕,尤其是在处理悲伤和创伤时。她建议,在寻求心理治疗之前,应该优先考虑改善生活方式,例如运动和人际关系。她认为,不良心理治疗会加剧症状或产生新的症状,其常见危害包括:过度关注情绪、诊断导致的挫败感、治疗依赖以及对自身能力的怀疑。她认为,过度使用心理治疗的语言会削弱年轻人的主动性,并使他们依赖药物。她还认为,完美的预防性心理健康护理尚未实现。 Chris Willx则表达了对现代世界精神压力巨大,人们寻求治疗是正常反应的观点。他认为,处理情绪的潜在解决方案不是回避它们,而是通过治疗来在一个安全的环境中谈论它们。他还探讨了学校辅导员和治疗师可能导致学生过度关注情绪或逃避挑战的问题。他认为,有效的治疗应该在确认情绪的合理性的同时,帮助个体处理情绪。他认同认知行为疗法和暴露疗法等疗法的有效性,但也指出,这些疗法在学校的实践中可能存在问题。他认为,不良治疗师是造成问题的根本原因,而不是治疗本身。他认为,过度直升机式养育、精神健康专业人员以及社交媒体都对年轻人的精神健康状况造成了影响。他还探讨了将负面情绪命名为疾病会削弱人们应对问题的主动性,以及年轻人使用心理治疗的语言可能是应对问题的策略,而不是真正的治疗。他认为,年轻人可能通过各种途径(如社交媒体或AI治疗)获得治疗,这加剧了问题。他认为,心理治疗的有效性取决于其应用方式,并探讨了治疗普及悖论。他认为,年轻人精神健康状况不佳,需要采取措施改善。

Shownotes Transcript

Abigail Shrier is a journalist, a writer for The Wall Street Journal, and an author.

Therapy use is becoming more prevalent while mental health is getting worse. Are these two things causing each other? Or just happening at the same time? It's a lively one today as I try to get to the bottom of this.

Expect to learn what is happening with modern mental health, the typical timeline of mental health for young people, what the current statistics are around therapy, which kinds of people see therapists the most, if there are any dangers to psychotherapy, why there might be an over-diagnosis and pathologisation of normal human emotions, why Abigail thinks there is such an increase in mental health disorders and much more...
