Kiara is aware of her depression. She has been for a while, but just knowing alone won't fix it. Sadly she has an enormous distrust towards Doctors of all kinds, thanks to her chronic pains she has been living with half her life and never really gotten properly diagnosed or treated. All she does is get massages regularly to numb the pain temporary.
But that is also partly Kiaras own fault, Kiara wants an easy answer and solution from the doctors about her pain, a kind of "this is the condition, take these pills, and it will go away". When they can't give her that, and just say " we don't know what exactly is causing it, but physical therapy is recommended", she grows increasingly frustrated and instead of trying to find a doctor that isn't a hack, she just gives up on the entire medical field and lives with the pain.
Because of that, I don't see her going to therapy anytime soon because she kinda gave up on trying to fix her physical pain, her emotional pain she probably won't even try to get it looked at by a professional.
More likely, she will just cry in public again and get a hug from the local student working the cash register at the supermarket close to her (they have somehow become friends).
Speculative, maybe one of the women of this place knows more: She has been on birth-control for a while now, it apparently helps her to have better skin. But I wonder if the birth-control can also cause those depressive episodes? It does mess with hormones and such quite a lot.
Forgot to put this merch bit in the summary:
- gets a good cut from solo kiara merch
- kiara merch as part of larger group merch sets, the cut is "no comment" but she still says buying anything and everything supports her
