I hesitate to comment on these threads, because no one wants to take the risk of saying anything adverse. "What if I say something bad about therapy? would this cause someone else not to see a therapist and end up dying?"

But I will say this. As people are becoming more lonely in a crowd, as they can't silence the noise in an empty home, as they can't find someone to listen to them even when they surrender, therapy will be the only outlet. You often see the cases in japan where people rent friends.

It's not that therapy is bad (it's pure luck if you find the right therapist), it's that there was a solution for the problems it is trying to solve. A community. And the friends that come with it.
