Any type of therapy should be left up to humans who can show empathy over computers (who can not)

@little_hoarse I agree totally. Eating disorders need usually counseling to help to find the causes of the problem and find ways of fixing them.
Computers can do lots of things, but not substitute humans in this kinds of tasks.
