    How can you afford 20 years of therapy? I feel like that’s a crippling amount of money.

        Nice. It would have to be free, I would never want to pay for it at the rates that are charged.

          yup. it’s pretty bullshit that mental health isn’t free, yet a lot of other medical stuff is (at least where i live)

        The yearly check up seems to be an American concept designed by a medical industry that make money the more often they have to see you. In countries with national health services you’re more likely to just see a doctor as and when you need it.

        Your americanism is showing :)

        as the other commenter said, that’s a somewhat uniquely american thing. I just visit the doctor when something is wrong with me. If there’s nothing wrong, there’s no need to go to the doctor.
