Is therapy as good, useful, and effective as a lot of people say it is? I've had severe depression for the past couple years and almost everyone I've talked to about it suggeets I try is. However It can be expensive and I dont want to potentially waste a ton of money all for nothing. Services like Better Help have recieved not so stellar reviews and my campus' counselor's office hasn't reached out to me despite filling out their initial sign up form twice in the past month, so I'm beginning to question whether it lives up to its hype.

In should peobaly note that:
>i have social anxiety and bad social skills due a schizo narcasistic helicopter mom
>>"hur dur it's all your fault stop blaming your parent's dumb decision!!"

>have ADD
>Cannot commit to studying for long periods of time (like I should be doing now) to save my life
>failing two classes that should be piss easy because of that
>etc

is it even worth considering? Or is it just a knee-jerk response normies throw at you?
