People in these memes always talking about therapy as if one simply goes there and like it works in the first place

    Not sure if it's very different in the US, but at least in Europe a lot more women use to opportunity to go to therapy compared to men. I.e. there is space if you look for it.

    And for your second point, psychology is a science. Not without flaw, just like any other science. But it certainly works, especially if the patient puts in the work.

    Where I live in Finland, getting therapy is a monumental and usually expensive effort, to the point where most of its apparent benefits likely stem from survivorship bias because to actually get all the way to therapy you cannot have debilitating depression in the first place.
