THIS ANNOYS ME!!!
I know there are very helpful counsellors and psychological doctors out there. So please don’t take this in the wrong way…. But does anyone else ever feel like if there were really people who truly cared about the mental well-being of people, therapy wouldn’t be so expensive… even with things like Medicare, there are still costs, and when you are someone who needs quite consistent therapy, it can end up adding up a lot. It really annoys me because I believe that some people in the world actually want us to suffer, because they make money off it. For example: pharmaceutical company’s make millions and trillions of dollars from medicine, a lot of which is SSRI’s, Antidepressants etc. Specialists to treat your specific disorder: end up costing an arm and a leg for one appointment that sometimes they will drag out so you just keep coming back…. I’m not saying that mental health care will ever be or should be “free” but it definitely should not be as expensive as it is. Because it has so many expenses a lot of people just end up not seeking help and living silently with a mental illness or killing themself, because they cannot handle what is happening in their own brain. They feel invaded by their own thoughts or experiences… so I know there are obviously some counsellors out there who really want to help people, I’m not at all dismissing that, but you would think that someone who is really struggling would be able to get the help they need for a lot less $$ than what we end up paying… money makes the world go around apparently, so however they can make money off us they will. Shame to think money is seen as more important than the life of a human to some people out there.
