Do People Like Their Mental Health Care?

An SSC-survey-data post on reader satisfaction with mental-health care: ~5,000 respondents rated psychotherapy and medication both 5.7/10 (more optimistic than the horror stories suggest; inpatient commitment 4.4; 7% ever involuntarily committed); therapy-from-a-book liked most and apps least; and medication-vs-therapy preferences by condition (autistic and ADHD prefer meds; alcoholics/borderlines prefer therapy). Heavily caveated (selection effects, no causation).

Quality 62 · Strong. Solid-to-Strong: a competent survey analysis with genuinely interesting nuggets (the 5.7 optimism, autistic-prefer-meds, therapy-from-a-book) honestly caveated, but modest and exploratory. 62.

Claude’s paradigm shift 42 · Moderate. Survey findings, moderate novelty. B42.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. Reader-data feeding the mental-health-care discourse; modest reach. RWI2.
