I will always find it bizarre the people who mock or reject therapy, say they don't need it, whatever. It's sad to me. The mind needs maintenance as much as anything else. Therapy, especially CBT, is incredibly effective when people are open and fully engaged.

It's also not really available to many people who need it. Is it any wonder we're relying on pharmaceutical band-aids when we have barely any semblance of affordable and accessible mental health infrastructure?
