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.

Not neglecting general self-care is highly separated from fighting mental illness. Imagine if someone had a brain tumour and their neurosurgeon told them they had to "put all the work in" to challenge their body's sickness. It's a pretty ridiculous mindset to have when someone's physiology is literally preventing them from doing that without external help. Why even bother giving the time of day to a practitioner if their advice directly implies that their suffering is entirely their fault?

Completely missed my point. There's nothing beneficial about a retributive standpoint based on distrusting an entire identity group because of statistical averages. Cathartic I'm sure (on a purely non-thinking and surface level), but then you're no better than the people you're criticizing in that regard. It's entirely emotional, quite like the people in charge of the US right now.

I'll always be baffled by the blatant hypocrisy on display in sentiments such as these. As if an eye for an eye has ever led to anything more than two blind people.

Edit: One caveat is that it's majorly owned by an American parent company.
