    YMMV. Therapists provided by the socialized healthcare usually suck. They are either borderline uninterested, prejudiced or are incompatible with the patient. And waiting for an appointment — that will most likely end up in disappointment at best or make you feel even more like crap at worst — usually takes months. Mental healthcare is still pretty shit. Well, healthcare in general. I’ve had to pay out of pocket many times in hopes of finding doctors who actually give a shit or aren’t absolute morons.

      Tbf ive paid out of pocket for at least 5 different therapists and they’ve lacked chemistry with me or very visibly just didnt care. It’s a thankless job if youre mediocre or even kind of good, but extremely rewarding for the best
