This is about why people with mental illness do not get help.
-facilities do not take their insurance
Most mental health places might not take the person's insurance. And therapy can be expensive.
-Ignorant doctors
Not all therapists are understanding. My old doctor as very understanding, she listened, she was nice. Then she left and the place gave me a new 'doctor' who just invalidates me, compares me to others and just doesn't understand my feelings.
-No parental support
if you are under 18 or whatever the age is in your country ( I am from America and it's 18) a parent or guardian has to check you in. Most parents don't 'believe in mental health' and therefore don't think their child needs help. That can play a role.
There are a ton of reasons. But I feel these three are the major reasons.
The mental health system needs to improve.
