I'm in the US and actually in a state where medical care is literally world class (I live less than an hour from the Mayo Clinic) so I'm probably even more lucky than most people as far as options go.

A lot of the issue is what insurance will cover. I can't afford to pay a couple hundred dollars out of pocket every week to talk to a therapist. But the options my insurance covers also just so happen to be the options everyone elses insurance covers so they are all booked solid with people who are in far more critical condition than me. In general there just aren't enough therapists to go around so those that are available need to focus where they are most needed first. I get that. It's literally no different than hospital triage. It's just hard not to see it as being told that your issues aren't bad enough that anyone cares. Or even worse, maybe you're just faking it.
