Any country, I would think. You know a country where psychiatrists and other doctors work without getting paid somehow?

The US military provides free care of this sort to members and their dependents. They get paid a salary by the government, but don't charge the patients for care per se.
I'm quite confident that's part of why therapy did me so much good. He wasn't going to make less money by actually being effective.

The point, as far as my post was concerned, is that the doctor is getting paid. Not who is paying them.

Well, there's a lot of situations in the US where the need for the doctor to be paid becomes a blockade to getting care, particularly for those in need of mental health.

Just because healthcare and money are mentioned in the same paragraph doesn't mean the discussion is about public vs private healthcare.
Its actually pretty disturbing to me that multiple people felt necessary to share their opinion about that here.
They should expect to have their efforts to "help" be sabotaged for seemingly no reason, be betrayed as a means to get self esteem, constant testing of boundaries, etc. Then they should make the decision of whether to take the project before ever needing to interact with the person.
