Anyone who thinks this is a good deal doesn't know what they're talking about. Experiments involving similar conditions have been done before, and it's never really a pleasant experience. Solitary confinement is fucking tough.
Take this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqKdEhx-dD4 3 days in a small room alone with no real entertainment. Even that had significant effect on Michael's wellbeing.
Keep in mind usually you can still move around and exercise in solitary confinement to keep you relatively sane. In a coffin? Have a look at sensory deprivation tanks. That's the closest thing to this hypothetical situation, and the people who sell the experience recommend you don't spend more than an hour in there.
That million dollars would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people but you would suffer from the effects probably for the rest of your life. Therapy isn't a magic bullet to kill any ailment of the mind. I'm sure it would be an option worth considering, but it's up there with selling a kidney, in my mind.
