Going to a Psychologist for help is similar to grading quality of a person's teeth by reviewing the shit coming out their ass..
How can the psychologist get a real picture of your problems when only source of the problems is the fucked person?
I've known people who went to psychologist for years.. and there are even more fucked up then ever before. More fucked up the person, the more delusional the output to the psychologist becomes.
If the psychologist is serious about fixing the patient, they would attempt to interview people the patient interacts with.

The interesting thing is you're making the same argument (((Abraham Maslow))) made before doing the research behind "A theory of human motivation". He studied successful people to see what motivated them, then based his Hierarchy of Needs off those findings.
We've been using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as mandatory education in Marketing, Law Enforcement, and journalism/propaganda career fields, because it makes it far easier to manage and/or manipulate someone using their needs, once you can identify which to exploit.
Incidentally, if one needs therapy, there is a lot of potential good that can come from knowing how to attain the self-actualization normally denied to people stuck in the "Am I depressed or is everyone around me just a douchebag?" cycle. All it takes is to learn and follow the information while being mindful of the fact that it's a jew teaching it to you.
