I believe that this problem is one of sheer personal responsibility. That is, I don't really trust therapists much more than these apps. Support groups and self-help books are better but in the end, only pure "shadow work" can really save you. You must learn to be your own therapist.

As someone that did shadow work, this is disingenuous and unhelpful. People undergoing depression or PTSD can’t be told to “man up” and work on themselves alone. Therapists are usually very careful with confidentiality.
