…Reddit Betterhelp… faith [or] self-confidence.” The company’s frequently asked question section on its site clearly states BetterHelp’s app and therapists shouldn’t be used for people dealing with an extreme mental disorder (schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder) or for people thinking about self-harm.|} Instead, the app prides itself on having accredited therapists and mental health specialists available to help individuals through text, phone call or video chat. That’s what numerous YouTubers who have accepted sponsorships from the business frequently say in their own videos, where they speak on the tensions in their individual lives and sensations bordering on stress and anxiety or depression. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have Reddit Betterhelp sponsors now.
A lot of these creators have actually discussed mental health concerns in the past, but as burnout becomes a bigger topic within the community– and traditional world– sponsorships involving BetterHelp have increased, despite the app not being exactly what the developers are promoting.
