Are we turning into a self-diagnosis society?

With the increased use of mental health apps, we’re spending less time with experts and more time self-diagnosing.

We feel we have a problem, then search for an app to fix it.

The problem?

Recent research conducted by the University of Sydney in Australia says, “…apps could lead to over-diagnosing mental illness and preventing individuals who need help from reaching out.”

Should health apps be regulated by the FDA like pharmaceuticals drugs, so those who need help must see a professional before usage?

Thoughts?
