Though those who have healed & learned may actually provide some useful insight but not like GOOD trained professionals IMO.

Welll...I facilitate a peer-led support group (NAMI) and all of us find tremendous solace and terrific information about mental health, meds, etc. from our group. I would trust any one of my group members, yes.
IRL? I wouldn't behave any differently than I do right here, online.
