Anxiety is the most common mental health problem – here’s how tech could help manage it

This kind of sounds like it should be a !nottheonion@lemmy.world headline.

Technology induced problem solved by yet another layer of problematic tech. Capitalism, ho!

I haven't read the article but tbh, the first thing that popped into my head "for only $9.99/month". Another thing adding the litany of life's problems caused by technology lol

anxiety is a symptom of many mental disorders, not a sole disease.

Hell. To. The. No.

This is no different than the electroshock 'therapies' that were pioneered from 1930 and onward through the 1990s used to treat people who were "Mentally ill". This is based in medical quackery and this is highly problematic that it once again is being suggested.

Technology isn't inherently bad, obviously, but in our current world it's primarily owned, controlled, and advanced by bad groups and people (for-profit companies, governments, and the rich). Until we actually extricate ourselves from this situation, we should be very wary of looking to technology for cures to out problems.
