I find it telling that the forums claim 380,000+ members, but the posts-per-day average is less than 2,000. Thus it's fair to say that the vast majority of members get (or don't get) what they're seeking from the forums and move on with their lives.
That said, it is what it is.

People with mental disorders or stresses in life don't want preaching, as most people do in this forum: "try this ...", "see a therapist ...". People project their current mental state on others who might be suffering or even suicidal at the very same moment. I even find professional therapy lack the empathy for patients. I tried it, and it was robotic. So, I quit it.
