Correct.

The problem nowadays is that most therapists simply don't want their patients to get better.

Once you help someone recover, the revenue ends, not just for you, but also for purveyors of fine psychiatric medications.

It's never stated that succinctly, of course, but that is absolutely the result. It takes real work to find mental health professionals that actually want to heal their patients.

I'm sorry if that's been your experience, but it seems like you don't know many therapists if that's your read.

Its like saying firefighters don't want to put out fires so they'll keep being paid.

Burning houses don't yield endless revenue streams for fire departments.
