I'm in wisconsin. if people want help they can't even get it.  psychologists and psychiatrists can not earn a living here in this state. I guess it has something to do with insurance coverage and other factors.  I'm no expert, I just know of people who needed help and had to go to a regular doctor who gave them pills instead.

I guess after the pandemic the need for mental health professionals has increased even more.
