A woman with depression sees her family doctor, who recommends therapy. Her doctor is covered by provincial health insurance; the therapist is not. Her employer benefits include mental health coverage, but only for four sessions per year, far less than treatment requires. She pays out of pocket for a while, then stops when money runs out, her recovery halted by what she cannot afford. A man with good benefits accesses twenty therapy sessions yearly, his coverage enabling sustained treatment. His colleague at the same company but in a different role has no benefits at all.
