This is somewhat true, but the pseudoscience I was referring to in that case is that a lot of these apps and companies are marketing to a new wave of hipster types that think all natural foods and a hip new app can cure their depression when really an hour with a shrink and some reliable meds might be better for them...but no, these things are "unnatural" and "dangerous".

I've tried a couple of the more prominent ones (Headspace, 10% Happier) and I really did not find anything aimed particularly at the new age/hipster crowd. Maybe it's true of some of the rest.
