La #LDH s’inquiète des dérives de #BetterHelp : santé mentale monétisée, praticiens sous-payés, tarifs élevés et risques pour la protection des données. L’accès à la psychothérapie en ligne ne doit pas se faire au détriment de la qualité des soins et des droits.

Die Apotheken-Umschau wird zur Zeit von der deutschen Version von "BetterHelp" gesponsort, die als "Therapeuten" einen KI-Bot einsetzen (wofür die Krankenkassen Geld zahlen) :/

remember when everyone went (justifiedly) mad about #BetterHelp selling user data and how utterly unethical (and illegal) it is to use private health data for advertisement?
so I wonder how long 'till people realise #ChatGPT and other #AI "therapists" not only do that, but also use the contents of your conversation.

I keep hearing adverts for #BetterHelp on podcasts I listen to.
They've been selling customer data, including #MentalHealth information, after specifically promising they wouldn't. Bunch of bastards.

How can BetterHelp afford to sponsor every single podcast on earth?

Okie, I wanted to get #betterhelp to maybe try #therapy about my whole #lgbtq identity but holy shit it is expensive. 54 EURO PER WEEK! Anyone knows some better and cheaper way.

After the millionth YouTube channel plugging the online therapy service BetterHelp I thought I would Google "is BetterhHelp any good" and oh boy what a shit show.
Lots of stories about questionable sharing of data about service use with advertisers and very unethical behavior by their therapists. Reddit is a goldmine of bad user experiences.

CW: Mental Health
It's supposed to be a distributed system for providing telehealth therapy. But because providers are a combination of automated and just self-reported with no real accountability structure or patient connection, ends up being a predatory system that takes people in the middle of a mental health crisis and puts them with people who have little credentials or experience, primarily united in their inability to maintain an actual practice of their own.
In its conception, it was supposed to be like the Psychology Today database but with a built-in Telehealth function that immediately routes the user (not patient, user) to whichever therapist is currently available. Instead, having given little thought to the incentive structures and emergent outcomes, it's a ghoulish and dystopian twisting of mental health that puts those most in need and closest to a crisis with those least qualified, least invested, and least accountable.

I know that if a person gives away their information to a non-medical website, then it's not technically #PHI anymore. But #BetterHelp presented itself as complying with healthcare rules.
They used language that made it sound like they were #HIPAA compliant.
They specifically deceived me into giving them information that I wouldn't have if they had not presented themselves as being a healthcare organization.
The penalty for this should be the complete dissolution of BetterHelp.

I've been getting emails about an #FTC #settlement with #BetterHelp:
"The FTC says that BetterHelp promised to keep users’ information private but revealed data to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo for advertising purposes. This data included email addresses, IP addresses, and **personal answers to health questions**."
For sharing #PHI, apparently, they're going to send me a check for a few bucks!?! WTF?
That's the only punishment?

Using #BetterHelp was the second time I actually got myself to go to #therapy. It was the height of the pandemic in 2020 and I didn't want to leave home. The therapist was better than the one I had seen in person previously. It wasn't life-changing and I didn't stay for very long, but it did help.
Also, the whole thing is a massive fraud and just a scheme to collect private health info and sell it to advertisers. I'm sure they exploited and underpaid their therapists as well. Fuck BetterHelp.

Lemme get this straight, #BetterHelp helped themselves to $80 out of my account every month for several months while I dealt with undiagnosed #ADHD with no help from them (kinda hard to get treatment when *you* have to initiate all of the communication and you have raging ADHD). The US FTC sued them and all I get back is $9.70?
Good grief.
OH SNAP, they got sued for selling customer's data TO FACEBOOK. WOW! WHAT A PARAGON OF VIRTUE.
BetterHelp. More like GetShafted.

This is the reason why I block & unsubscribe from every podcast and video creator who runs #BetterHelp’s ads. @jsrailton
Accepting their ads shows you’ve not done simple due dilligence on the company, and your lack of ethics are incompatible with my values.
I’m reminded of two particularly egregious examples (Wesley Treat, and Bourbon Moth) who shared how mental health had impacted them, then - in the exact same breath - shilled for BetterHelp and their lies.

#BetterHelp to pay $7.8 million to 800,000 in #health data sharing settlement
Founded in 2013, BetterHelp is an alternative to traditional face-to-face #therapy sessions. People turning to BetterHelp often deal with #depression, #anxiety, #PTSD, #substanceabuse, or #addiction. BetterHelp shared collected information with #Facebook, #Snapchat, #Criteo, and #Pinterest, to identify similar consumers and target them with #ads for BetterHelp’s #counseling services.

BetterHelp to pay $7.8 million to 800,000 in health #data sharing settlement
#BetterHelp shared collected user information with third parties like #Facebook, Snapchat, and Pinterest _after_ they promised users they will not disclose their data outside "limited circumstances."
