    Women don’t manage somehow. Iirc, about 11% of women go to therapy, while 7% of men do. The difference is almost negligible.

    Also, from my personal experience, going to therapy has been quite unhelpful. I shopped around and met with quite a few therapists. One was genuinely insane. The rest seemed to do basically nothing and have no real suggestions of improving my mental health issues. For the most part, it seemed like they were phoning it in, and didn’t think my problems were real problems.

    “Go to therapy” is thrown around like some trump card. But the reality is, going to therapy is very hit or miss, and in my case, pretty much entirely miss. I get more out of going for a walk in the woods. And if trees are reliably doing a better job at your vocation than you are, then I think your field is probably bullshit.
