I am more surprised it’s just 0.15% of ChatGPT’s active users. Mental healthcare in the US is broken and taboo.
It’s not just the US, it’s like that in most of the world.
At least in the rest of the world you don't end up with crippling debt when you try to get mental healthcare that stresses you out to the point of committing suicide.
And if you confess suicidal ideation in the US, the authorities rush in to "help" you by taking away your agency and giving you even more crippling debt.
I wince whenever people trip over their keyboards to post those "helpful" 800 hotline numbers. Most of them have good intentions, but the end result is never about really helping the person. It's about liability coverage and enabling the system to extract maximum value.
And then should you have a failed attempt, you go exponentially deeper into debt due to those new medical bills and inpatient mental healthcare.
Fuck the United States
