    I don’t know what you’re trying to get at with that ridiculous question… I never said anything of the sort.

    And I know mental healthcare is not just for severe mental illness. I have formal education and years of experience in this field.

        I would argue it was clearly implied by the original commenter. And not all my points were directed at OP himself, but the talking points I see constantly perpetuate this myth. I probably should have made that more clear…

        This is just a major sore spot/pet peeve of mine, and I’ve worked so much with the population this myth affects. There is still such a stigma against mental illness (although we’ve come leaps and bounds over the last 20 years) and I feel compelled to try to combat it when I see it. I’ve seen repeatedly firsthand how stigma affects this population, and the things my clients would tell me were heartbreaking…

            Agreed, and that’s certainly how I read OP’s comment.

              Im OP- that is exactly what I was saying.

              Everyone will need a therapist at some point in their life for one reason or another and right now it costs way too much or carry’s too much of a stigma for people to consider it.

              If people don’t find ways to adequately deal with their negative feelings they act out. Sometimes I horrific ways.
