Why is something as pseudoscientific and generally useless as "therapy" pushed so heavily nowadays? As someone who was in and out of psych wards as an adolescent, as someone who's been to dozens and dozens of therapists, as someone with multiple complex conditions, how is talking to some clueless privileged fag with a bullshit degree going to improve my material circumstances in any way? Why am I the bad guy for being against the psychiatric industrial complex? What real purpose does "therapy" serve in relation to neoliberal capitalism?

Sometimes talking to a neutral third party helps you feel better or work through something personal but that’s the problem, it only works on an individual and not systemic level

Your post itself is pretty much asking for therapy, just with way less qualified people as your therapists

You're right anon. Therapy, meds, self help, positive thinking, it's all just gaslighting. It's all based on the assumption that the prevailing conditions are reasonable and sound and you are maladaptive. There's no way to be healthy or sane in a world like this. Nobody gets "cured", at best they get brainwashed into thinking things are tolerable enough to be able to serve Capital and not cause problems.
The only authentic reason to live under present conditions is to struggle to destroy these conditions.

My most recent experience with therapy, which was recently, was just boring.
The first few sessions were useful, because I got all my pent up problems out in the open.
The rest was just talking about how I do nothing all week, every week.

It's definitely a scam when all you're getting as feedback is "you should go out more". I can see it being useful for trauma and more severe illnesses than depression.

Psych drugs are pushed like ten million times more than therapy u fgt
