Troubles in wonderland
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes integrated into mental health care, foundational questions about psychotherapy gain renewed urgency. What makes treatment “real”? Which therapeutic elements are essential for genuine change? This article addresses these questions through a conceptual examination of two leading treatments for depression: psychodynamic therapy (PDT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). While comparative studies of these tr…

The study signals boredom as a maladaptive 'ingredient' that might trigger suicide behaviors, regardless of depression. Further studies are recommended to direct clinicians' attention to this burdening, and sometimes existential experience
