My therapist cost me 180 dollars per visit for an hour. A prostitute costs around 100 dollars an hour. Which is more cost efficient if they perform the same function? Therapy is an expensive luxury that often doesn’t even work.

So it’s not a medical treatment, is a random crapshoot that doesn’t work for most people, and is compensated for through psychotropic drugs? It’s not a real field, it’s quackery. It’s where you go when there’s no other option. If I wanted to pay someone to pretend to care about my problems, I’d hire a prostitute. I’d be cheaper than paying for a therapist.

The answer is, as always, broad economic and social reform, but since they profit from the system as it is, nothing will be done. Psychology is a joke field. Always has been. Therapy is a crap shoot and almost never works, it just teaches you how to hide your symptoms. Then they foist highly addictive meds on you. It’s an embarrassment.
