I'm not against the advice. I just think that is should be done inversely.
But for a psychiatrist to give it glibly, without knowing the individual situations, is massively unprofessional and likely open to legal ramifications from things like that 45 year old man man who killed his wife and two children because Trump won the presidency.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor which means they have taken the oath of "Do no harm" and, for some people, cutting off family might well cause harm.
They are welcome to their opinion. But in a professional capacity this is dangerous advice.
The Hippocratic oath is a sick joke. Healthcare professionals can define harm however they like, so virtually any behavior becomes permissible. People are “harmed” by their refusal to submit to an experimental gene therapy created by a for-profit corporation with no liability? Better support vaccine mandates! Your patient is stressed out in the eighth month of her pregnancy? Better perform a baby murder for her “mental health”!
Oaths are only as valid as the people who swear them. Postmodernist leftists don’t even believe in the language used to construct them.
Cosmetic surgery is a major example of this. They define “quality of life” as appeasing one’s current mental state. This is why the kid transing has been so popular and why the multiple studies showing no improvement is so hated by them.
Leftists don't even believe in the hippocratic oath anymore (if they ever did). These are the same people that want to deny healthcare to people they don't like in the name of tolerance! (but nooo - they're not racist or bigoted!)
Its a problem of taking the correct course from one situation and then applying it wider without proper understanding of the complexities.
Like the children of addicts or the extreme abusive types (the ones that r/raisedbynarcissists all write fanfiction wishing about) should absolutely cut their family out. Both as a stop measure or a jolt to the relationship to help the other party start to respect boundaries correctly.
But those are extreme cases where the harm is notable and direct. However once that became a thing you could do, Therapists the world over started applying it far more loosely so as not to upset their Leftie patients who were so lost in politics they'd just drop and replace the Therapist if they said anything to the contrary.
Because that's what usually happens. People shop for a Therapist who agrees with their own belief about themselves to enable them, rather than go to one who will confront and help them through their issues. And people consider the ability to shop like that a good thing so much it appears in Ads for things like BetterHelp.
For a medical doctor who went on the specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioural disorders it's not.
The duty of care is to the patient. Personalised treatment based on evidenced circumstances is how they heal. Being a soundbite on a polarising gossip rag for sensationalism is dangerous and could lead to vulnerable people being harmed.
If this doctor wishes to drop their medical licence and become a therapist that's fine. But as a doctor they should be punished for unprofessional conduct.
Well they are a medical doctor trying to take on the role of Therapist, that's already a failure on their part from the top. A specialized doctor doesn't try to also be a primary care physician beyond a very basic level for a reason.
Its a problem with Psychiatrists in general, in that they feel like they are Super Therapists who can be both the "counselor" and the "pill fairy" approaching situations from all angles.

So is enabling, but a swathe of the medical field is enabling mental health disorders.

For a fair-weather therapist that's fine.
For a medical doctor who went on the specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioural disorders it's not.
