…Don’t Use Betterhelp… religion [or] self esteem.” The business’s frequently asked question area on its website clearly specifies BetterHelp’s app and counselors should not be used for people dealing with an extreme mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar illness) or for individuals thinking about self-harm.|} Rather, the app prides itself on having actually accredited therapists and mental health experts available to help individuals via text, call or video chat. That’s what many YouTubers who have actually accepted sponsorships from the company typically say in their own videos, where they speak on the tensions in their individual lives and feelings verging on anxiety or depression. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have Don’t Use Betterhelp sponsors now.
