Good psychiatrists are often in short supply in comparison to MD.
That’s a supply×demand question, because IIRC 1 good psychologist should only have their dunbar number of patients. So for a country of 342,034,432 people, the state needs to invest in 2,280,230+≈ PhD.s at a rate that competes with child births, sick days (pandemics), emergencies, etc… When a state forgets to invest on it’s own health, you get the pandemic you’re experiencing.
That’s genuinely a great question that will take me time to recompile.
