Japan is fairly notorious for not having much in the way of psychiatric help. It's sort of well known that if you're a foreigner living in the country, Japanese people will use you as the sort of make-shift psychiatrist and emotional dump, perhaps because they feel like foreigners are better at that sort of thing, or perhaps because they feel foreigners are alien to Japanese culture and so it won't come back to haunt them... but, who knows?

Anyway, my point is that the MC almost certainly wouldn't get a psych evaluation.
Could you elaborate a bit more? Is it some sort of stigmatism towards mental health services?

Well, I don't feel much like trying to deep dive on statistics and such, so there's one more factoid that will likely somewhat illuminate Japan's view on mental illness.
It's fairly well known that you rarely see mentally unwell, or handicapped, people on the streets of Japan, this isn't obviously because they don't exist, it's because their carers (the parents) don't take them outside.
So rather than being a matter of stigma towards the services, I'd say it's the level of shame surrounding the ailments that's the problem.

The Parents don't want to take the handicapped children outside out of shame, and the people with mental issues don't wish to acknowledge their possible condition out of shame.
That's my best guess on the matter as some 3rd party to culture, with only a casual interest in its going ons, anyway. I'm sure someone else with a greater knowledge and interest can better illuminate the issue than I can.

If 90 gold = ¥900k, then if 1 gold = 100 silver, 1 vase is just ¥100. Wouldn't be so made on that old guy, just ¥600 for some nice info
