The current pandemic has changed the way a lot of big companies do business, and a big part of the reason why that is the case has to do with the fact that there is a renewed focus on health both physical as well as mental. While the previous focus was mostly on physical health, mental health is now also being targeted for a pretty good reason. Now if you search for mental health related topics, you will be shown a panel that would give you a test that can determine whether or not you might have a mental illness.
It is important to note that this is not an actual diagnosis, but it will definitely give you some information that you can use. The most important thing to note here is that some of the information you get will indicate that the disease you have is common as well as treatable, which is something people need to hear due to the reason that it will impact their outlook on life and help them feel like there is more hope for them than might have been the case otherwise.
The primary benefit of these panels is that they will give information and help people get a direction when they are facing a particular mental illness. These are things that matter, and the fact that a big tech company is focusing on this is definitely a heartening development. Users aren’t the only ones that would end up benefiting from something like this either. The truth of the situation is that a lot of content creators on the platform have talked about things like their mental health, and they would now be able to get some help which they might not have been able to get otherwise. This is a great step all around and YouTube should definitely work on more things like this in the future.
