as the other commenter said, that’s a somewhat uniquely american thing. I just visit the doctor when something is wrong with me. If there’s nothing wrong, there’s no need to go to the doctor.
The yearly check up seems to be an American concept designed by a medical industry that make money the more often they have to see you. In countries with national health services you’re more likely to just see a doctor as and when you need it.
How can you afford 20 years of therapy? I feel like that’s a crippling amount of money.
More importantly how can you afford that but not a yearly basic check up with your doctor?
Your americanism is showing :)

it was free.
Nice. It would have to be free, I would never want to pay for it at the rates that are charged.
yup. it’s pretty bullshit that mental health isn’t free, yet a lot of other medical stuff is (at least where i live)
My free mental health treatment is complaining on the internet
