Okay, although I may agree with part of what you said, could you:

Okay, although I may agree with part of what you said, could you:
A. Provide some evidence (not gut feeling) supporting your statement the majority of patients being therapy unworthy and their need to start "sucking it up" and and stop inflating their unREAL depression?
B. More importantly even if you're right about the need for therapy (and may be), could you also comment (as you've already started) on how the process gives the majority an excuse for not dealing with life? I'd like to know how this plays out exactly. The therapist or group encounter feeds the patients delusions or empowers the static or depressive nature the patient arrived with?
C. Do you have experience (personal or with close ones) with therapy?
D. What does your blanket comment had to do with the OPs question?
Bonus: Have you begun romanticizing why you're likely to get flamed? Is it possible people could find you wrong?
