You are reducing a whole industry that based on research could be evaporated by only such things as willpower? that's absurd. Not every psychological condition is merely caused by a lack of willpower. Also, Willpower would not be the sole solution to help those who are addicted. That is simply ignorant and unemphatic to believe such a thing.

Firstly, you need to read posts thoroughly since I never specifically stated that the entire psychology and therapy industry is depending only on the willpower factor. It's a major reason behind most mental conditions which helped their industry earn big.

Secondly, you clearly have no idea how important willpower is to gambling addicts which is your opinion is what's absurd. Do your research.

Let's clear a few things up. Yes, you did not explicitly and specifically stated it would be evaporated. It was just a wrong word choice of mine.

The part of the context that I heavily disagree with are:

Quote

the therapy and psychiatry industry would be so poor.

And the one specifically yours.

Quote

The majority have weak willpower leading to regular issues like gambling addiction etc in their day to day lives while the minority have great willpower who live their lives successfully.

The psychiatry and therapy industry earn huge amounts thanks to so many people possessing weak willpower.

I think that is just plainly wrong. Weak willpower may lead to addiction issues, but it can not be substituted as a significant cause on the general scale in every case. More importantly, regarding the psychiatry and therapy industry, the context implies only dependence on those who have weak willpower.

Heavy simplification. And Extremely narrow point of view. "important", "willpower", "addicts".

Addiction is a complex subject, and singling out one cause as a major important factor, without considering other factors, is ludicrous.
