Only if you live in a nation that charges for therapy. Universal free healthcare is what modern nations have because we understand your health is not up to debate.
In how many countries is mental health treatment covered and on par with other healthcare treatments? Good psychiatrists are often in short supply in comparison to MD.

That’s a supply×demand question, because IIRC 1 good psychologist should only have their dunbar number of patients. So for a country of 342,034,432 people, the state needs to invest in 2,280,230+≈ PhD.s at a rate that competes with child births, sick days (pandemics), emergencies, etc… When a state forgets to invest on it’s own health, you get the pandemic you’re experiencing.

That’s genuinely a great question that will take me time to recompile.
