Edit: so please also help me understand this- if a person doesn’t have family and friends to support, sounds like therapy won’t really help this person unless they change their living conditions, or they relapse?

Therapy helps by teaching you how to notice your unhealthy/destructive patterns of thought and behaviour and how to change them. It also offers emotional support in times of crisis.
Over the years, I’ve been in therapy 4 times, each time for about 1-2 years. I don’t consider it a “failure” – that’s just how long it took for me to deal with my various issues (it was something else every time). But everyone is different so others might have different experiences.
