See, this is the problem with the average person's understanding of people who get therapy. For them, it is a matter of life and death. They wouldn't be going to therapy if they felt otherwise. An illness like depression, bipolar disorder or even general anxiety can be just as valid and severe as any cancer or disease. Please reconsider the inherently fallacious standpoint you're following of categorizing mental issues as less severe than physical ones. It's incredibly harmful.
