Thanks. Yes, I think there are a lot of staff within mental health care who donīt have qualifications enough to help people. Much of the "treatment" given is more or less just plain chats you could have with any other decent person. But it wonīt help in the long run.
In Sweden they seldom hire psychotherapists within public health care, you have to pay out of your own pocket, which makes that type of care unavailable to most people.
I've thought of leaving mental health care for years now but canīt as that would mean not getting my welfare and losing my apartment. If I had options I would for sure leave this counselor.
