      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…

            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.
