Not everyone can see professionals for an illness mental or physical , so that leaves the ball in their court to help themselves, common sense I think.

If you can get help? Then by all means use every bit of it you can.

In an ideal world everyone could have all the help needed for everything.

It's not an ideal world ,so people have to do whatever they can to help themselves.

Personally having the Internet at our finger tips is a miracle, So much information and free advice to be found.
