Mental health awareness in the UK is poor, if you are suicidal they will pretty much pretend it's not as bad as it really is and hope that you don't kill yourself. If you suffer from shit mental health and you can't afford a private doctor then you pretty much have to fight tooth and nail if you actually want help. I've been lied to and denied access to help from my doctor multiple times, I've been given referrals to counsellors instead of pyschiatrists even though you don't even need a referral to a counsellor. If you're older, then they'll pretty much hand out medication like candy. They don't want to help you, they pretty much just want to fuck you off as soon as possible so that they can deal with the next patient. Most doctors are shite and the NHS is under funded. They don't "carry out proper investigations" into your mental health because they simply don't care/have the funding.

I knew somebody that transitioned, later regretted it and ended up killing themselves at 28. I actually know 3 people that did this.

it's because if you question their feelings the whole world turns against you. You reap what you sow.

If they feel they can't question how a person is feeling because of social backlash then they shouldn't be working those jobs, otherwise it gets critical. Especially if it comes down to castrating a patient's cock off. Most people that advocate for mental health only advocate for trans/minorities really. I agree with you to some extent. There seems to be way too much emphasis on this trans shit and transitioning.
