Being mentally ill is expensive in many ways, not only monetarily.I am very thankful I can afford care. I look at street people sitting on sidewalks talking to themselves and often think the only difference between us is that I am lucky enough to be able to pay for treatment.
Therapy is terribly expensive. But if I were diabetic, I'd have to pay for insulin and needles and testing supplies, etc. That's not wasted money. It's money that I'd much rather spend on other things and I would if I weren't ill. But I am.
