Are there good therapy practices in more leftist countries? I'm so curious to see how psychological treatments are done when divorced from capitalism and its normalization.
I don't know if Denmark counts as socialist but here seeing a psychiatrist is free, so is receiving care at a psychiatric hospital. This is all well and good but waiting times are long, over a year often, as psychiatry is not considered a prestigious specialty for medical students, leading to a chronic shortage of psychiatrists. Psychiatric hospitals are chronically underfunded as there are no votes in improving mental health services and often you hear horror stories about them having to discharge patients who still need care, because they need the bed to take in patients who are more sick.
It is a lot better than privatised US healthcare but it is certainly far from good.
