Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of the treatment sounds too good to be true and claims to target a wide range of disorders. The idea that everyone was cured within two weeks is also highly unlikely. This sounds like pseudopsychology or something that is not supported by evidence-based research. It is not appropriate to recommend this treatment without further investigation and consultation with a mental health professional.
