I wouldn’t recommend therapy unless you suffer from a debilitating mental disorder that is responsible for you not being able to participate in life in a meaningful way. Just my opinion.
I think everyone would benefit from a tool box / wellness discovery session that individual research or time spent with a therapist can offer. Essentially build out a mental health “first aid kit” for yourself in times of emergency. Many don’t - and so their first serious crisis (especially with men) ends violently.
Even if there’s 0 wrong in your life - knowing what things make you well and how to leverage them when you eventually lose someone you care about or have to cope with severe and debilitating grief is important.
Saying you don’t need to buy a med kit unless you have a severed artery sort of means you will be behind the coping and recovery process. This can be accomplished in 1 or 2 sessions with support or individual research.
Just my counter point as someone who did psych screening services - coached people with 0 psych / mental health issues prior out of self harm scenarios and got them in my car or an ambo to go to the hospital. But also never went to or believed in therapy for myself (and had my first session a decade after that job at the age of 35). I should have gone earlier. But I was fine and successful without it. Married / promoted / succeeding in life - So didn’t.
That is true, but a “debilitating mental disorder” means completely different things to every person. So, you should go to therapy if you feel you need it, which means that trying to decide for someone makes no sense at all.
Whoa, hold the fuck on. Are you seriously suggesting that expensive, paid mental health care be used to treat serious mental health problems, rather than as a way of dismissing half the planets emotions?

I didnt decide anything for anyone other than myself, which makes it an opinion. That is how opinions work.
