I feel bad for whoever made this comic. Clearly they haven't been having a good time with therapy. I've been going for a few months now and I've gained a lot of insight into myself. Each to their own, though.
Yeah, I'm not fond of the anti-therapy/psychiatry bent a lot of leftists take. Therapy and psychiatry can be enormously helpful and would be necessary in any world. Capitalism contributes to mental health problems, but I personally would still be profoundly mentally ill even in a socialist utopia.
yeah therapy and psychiatry end up being what you make of it in the end. If you don't find it helpful that doesn't necessarily make it bad as a generalization, it's just that it didn't work for you.
It’s okay to not be okay, no healthy person is happy all the time. Emotions have meaning and are human.
What’s more, if you are living in a place where your human rights are under attack it is those that aren’t profoundly disturbed by that who are abnormal and unhealthy.
