That's a good reason to not make everyone have a mental health professional. I think it's fine people can seek them out - people can subjectively evaluate whether the particular professional they're seeing is improving their life or not, and if their life subjectively feels better, then the service the mental health professional is providing is definitely of value. You're right, we don't know enough about what goes on in our minds to force it down everybody, and at the same time, people can be aware of their own selves, and I think we have to be cautious in describing how people see themselves and whether a mental professional is improving their lives, even if without hard data, as unfounded speculation.
