        In my experience when someone says some variation of ‘we don’t believe in that’ about mental health treatment. They are either a clueless victim of a narcissist or they are a narcissist. Many narcissist end up a preacher/god botherer. A narcissist fears mental health treatment more than they fear death. They don’t want their victims to get it either. Since it will expose them. They say things like ‘They always blame X’ X being the narc or the narcs fud.
