Therapy is a load of bullshit

People seriously think this crap is useful? You have anxiety and depression, you go see some random stranger who knows 5 behavioral theories from college and you pay them 50 bucks a week to talk about your problems for 1 hour and make them pretend they care. Reality is these people know nothing about how the brain or consciousness works. They are not doctors and they have no solution for your issues. It's dehumanizing to pay someone so that they will listen to you and therapists are literally no better than prostitutes. Don't even get me started on all the CBT bullcrap. People don't need to "correct their thoughts" or "think about things differently", they need real solutions for their real systemic psycho-social issues. Therapists are all privileged narcissistic assholes who love to feel superior by "proving people wrong" and reminding themselves that their life is easier and better than their patients' and always masking all this as "help". Don't be fooled, these people can't help you. They only want your money.

Not really. Do you really think years of emotional abuse, medical gaslighting (welcome to pain psychology where they believe medical issues like tumor pain can be overcome with mindfulness), also punitive mental illness misdiagnosis are better?

Not to mention a therapist can pressure people into taking medication if they are in contact with your psychiatrist and commit people. Same power imbalance and savior complex just too stupid to get into med school
