My bad for implying this based on your shorter answer above, thank you for adding this much context.

You are spot on with regards to potential abuse by career optimizers. I've been lectured by my doc during prescription for that as well.

Again, as someone who really feels badly affected by this I am of course not a fan of the abuse.

It's my fault that you got that impression, so I quite appreciate your letting me clarify.

I know there are people who really are suffering and I'm glad that help is available to them. Thanks for reminding me to not lose sight of that very real human element.
