Using askme as therapy?
I don't want to call anyone out specifically, because I don't want to bring extra negative attention to people that are clearly having a hard time, but I think anyone that reads askme regularly will notice certain repeat askers, who always ask variations on 'I am depressed, and my life is terrible, tell me how to be okay with that." And basically never take any advice from anyone. Is there a point where the mods will tell them that it's not a great use of askme? Or should they? Is everyone okay with using askme as a therapist when they clearly need to be in actual therapy?
How can we make ThereIsHelp even better?
The ThereIsHelp page on the MeFi wiki is a helpful compilation of resources for people who are struggling with depression, suicidal ideation, alcoholism, domestic violence, and sexual assault. It's also a living document, originally created through the collaboration of MeFites over three years ago in memory of Bill Zeller, and I'd like to continue the conversation about how we as a community can make it even better.

Does our askme's number one go-to answer actually bring about the desired effect?
I'm wondering how often the advice to get therapy actually results in someone realizing, damn, I need therapy. [more inside]

Consider a therapist
Is there, has there ever been, or could there be, a Metafiler physician directory? [more inside]
Are therapists going on metafilter?
When people say "print out this post and take it to your therapist"....do people do that? How does the therapist react? Does it help? Will they go check out your other posts? [more inside]
Is there a CBT solution for this problem?
It keeps coming up, and AskMe isn't quite the place for it. Sometimes the it's the asker who doesn't want to hear it, and sometimes members just argue amongst themselves. Maybe we should all seek therapy! [more inside]
Positive feedback for AskMe from therapist
"I am in therapy, and my therapist has agreed with me that Ask MeFi has resulted in some really intelligent and meaningful answers before." Nice feedback for AskMe.
Disney World Therapy

AskMeFi questioners are too often glibly told to, "talk to a therapist"
AskMeFi questioners are too often glibly told to, "talk to a therapist," when asking about emotional issues. Discuss.
