Whenever I refer a patient of mine to a psychiatrist or psychologist for counselling or therapy, nine out of ten times the patient would refuse to go. For those on the fence, I usually suggest a walk and to spend at least an hour for themselves (without looking at a screen) every day.
And regarding the glitch/nothing to fix... Something which I read a long time ago. It goes like this.
"We are human beings after all, not human doings. You don’t have to be ‘doing’ something all the time, Just ‘being’ is fine too."
