I read this awesome comment on why it is so fucking hard to get help in the US
"Even in a case where insurance covers psychotherapy, it's usually very limited in the amount of sessions covered as well as total cost willing to be covered. Largely its' put on the clinician to take clients who are willing to pay full fee (indicative of privilege or "worried well") and use a sliding scale to take a selection of clients for low or no fee. Imagine clinicians in orthopedics or another specialty care service line if they were getting reimbursed crumbs for their time and had to take a sampling of no/low fee patients. This raises the threshold for individuals to even think psychotherapy is an option, and if they have do attend session, its 4 sessions of CBT for their presenting state - cutting off just in time to do real work on their internal psychological disposition."

Why Is Therapy So Expensive?
Good fucking luck getting on medicaid bro, SNAP is already hard enough to qualify for, if you need meds and the subsidized ones doesn't work on you, it's time to sui.
Paying for Prescription Drugs Around the World: Why Is the U.S. an Outlier?
This is another brutal blackpill that no one want to fucking acknowledge, if you fail your suicide or get sent to psych ward, it can cost up to thousands of dollar for a 3 night stay.
While I agree that nobody should be entitled to other labours, just fucking lol that the low iq argument that people need help, when they can't fucking afford it
