An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Real-life therapists aren't any better.
Most mental health problems, I suspect, are the result of socioeconomic problems like price gouging and wage stagnation. Spending your whole life struggling to just barely avoid homelessness is not good for the mind. Neither is working for a boss who treats you like a slave, and let's face it, that's exactly what you are. No amount of talk or pills will fix that.
I agree that this is much of the problem. Capitalism is designed to break anyone who's not part of the bourgeoisie.
But without going into detail (because things took a bad turn last time I did here), I've got some exacerbating circumstances beyond that (which admittedly is still related to capitalism since all help is behind some pretty high paywalls).
