What is 'therapy' in the US?
Psychologists? Psychiatrists?
Often licensed social workers. But could be a psychologist. Or a licensed mental health therapist. Many different kinds of therapy, I’m not sure if certain kinds require certain licenses, but they’re mostly all types of talk therapy.

Psychiatrists don’t generally do therapy in my experience, they just prescribe meds.

I concur. Psychiatrists you spend 15 minutes with for a med check but pay more than a therapy session. Or so I've heard.

This is the serious answer but I will add AI chat bots, bartenders, trapped salesclerks, and strangers on chat sites seem to do in a pinch if you don’t have insurance.

Oh and Instagram reels and TikTok influencers!

Prescribed by a doctor or you can just rock up?
They are so scarce and hard to find. Usually it’s just a licensed therapist and the stigma of going is getting less and less. We need more of them in my opinion as the suicide rate for young teenagers is growing astronomically. 😢
 
Some people assume everything is about them, some people assuming nothing is about them, I am definitely in the latter, is that good or bad :)
I don't know but same
Realistically it’s probably because of many factors, but to a degree it also reflects self awareness. There’s a whole big world out there. 🌏

Also the former just seems emotionally depleting. 😕
 
Almost every day we hear tragic stories about mentally imbalanced people killing random people on the streets, in the subway and elsewhere.

I'm confused that these stories only go one way. Are there stories about crazy people shoveling snow out of their neighbors' driveways, painting their house, or helping older people carry their groceries?
 
Plan it out if that leaves more time for relaxing. Otherwise wing it!
I've made an Executive Decision™️ and decided to go with a "scheduled spontaneity" approach, cause I don't want to wing too close to the sun and it leads to chaos, but I also don't want to feel like I'm checking off a to-do list on my day off LOL
