    I’d love to see a therapist about my mental health.

    Unfortunately, I live in the UK, where there is a several-years-long waiting list to get help on the NHS, and where every private therapist is oversubscribed and not taking any bookings.

    Literally the only option for people like me is BetterHelp, and they’re basically the Uber/Lyft of mental healthcare, in the sense that they don’t even bother to ensure that licensed and qualified individuals are on their service. They are such a shady and scandal-ridden company.

    Imagine how it is in the United States where healthcare costs are prohibitively expensive and the mere thought of universal healthcare is anathema…
