    I’m gonna guess there’s no significant hurdle to getting a psych eval in your European country. No expensive medical bill, no worrying about time off from work to get it.

    We hyperfocussed so much on that “shall not be infringed” part that we managed to give up our health and the best 40 years of our lives to the machine.

      Prices for these types of exams are fixed, and not particularly expensive. You aren’t getting therapy, you are being screened for obvious things. Usually less than 30 min. That time does let you find the glaring stuff.
