Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I feel bad for whoever made this comic. Clearly they haven't been having a good time with therapy. I've been going for a few months now and I've gained a lot of insight into myself. Each to their own, though.
Yeah, I'm not fond of the anti-therapy/psychiatry bent a lot of leftists take. Therapy and psychiatry can be enormously helpful and would be necessary in any world. Capitalism contributes to mental health problems, but I personally would still be profoundly mentally ill even in a socialist utopia.
yeah therapy and psychiatry end up being what you make of it in the end. If you don't find it helpful that doesn't necessarily make it bad as a generalization, it's just that it didn't work for you.
