Your response feels quite snarky but I understand you're speaking from a place of emotion after your own difficult experiences.

Here in The Netherlands people with less money can get access to therapy with assistance from the state. I've had to do it myself and it cost me around 300 euros per year to see 3 different providers for 3 kinds of therapy; the rest of the costs were covered by the state.

I wouldn't call it a magical utopia as it works via a system of mutual social support, not magic, but it does seem relatively utopic in comparison to what you describe.

It's ok.

My first reply was flagged for pointing out an unaffordable treatment has no real use.

I forgot this is a forum where 800$ a month is a trivial amount of money.

No snark intended. I've been to Europe a few times, as far as I'm concerned The Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK are essentially utopias.

Not having to play the health insurance game, significantly lower crime rates, actual worker rights. No place is perfect, but try being poor in America. Nothing is closer to hell.
