What does going to a mental institution do for you? - eviltoast

If you get, say, depressed because of your life being constant shit, how will going to a mental institution help? How does therapy help?

It’s not like therapy is going to solve the problems you face in life, like lack of money, friends, bad job, etc? I guess I’m asking what is the purpose of therapy and mental institutions?

    There are both good and bad therapists and I’ve had both. In the end they do that job for a paycheck, just like all of us, and they’re only human.
