I’m not. But many people feel miserable and trapped by the circumstances of their lives. Either not making enough money or don’t have enough friends. The media pushes doom, gloom, and fear because it keeps people’s attention. A distorted “reality” is forced down people’s throats. Not enough parents teach their children emotional regulation, and schools certainly don’t. So even if you don’t need meds to get by with your life, a therapist can act as a stand-in for a friend so you can vent about your problems and get advice or comfort.

I don’t personally take meds or see a therapist, but I don’t look down on others who do. It’s just indicative of the complete lack of mental health support in this country.
