He’s stressed but absolutely refuses to get help.
He said he had depression once when he was young and he called the Befrienders at that time, but what they ended up doing is asking him to donate to their church and to join christianity.
And recently he tried to talk to one of my older cousins who is a licensed psychiatrist, but she blamed his stress on his refusal to join their big family events that cost a lot of money (which is completely unrelated).
So now he doesn’t believe in professional mental help.
If mental health professionals really exist, why haven’t I ever seen one?
On a serious note any real-or-perceived difficulty whatsoever (other unresolved issues, cost, waiting lists/scheduling, paperwork, transportation/distance, psychiatrist problems/incompatibility etc) might be significant reasons or at least adding to it.
Though I think stress might be an expected outcome for certain situations that I’m not sure can really be helped like that. Though that is a stretch because maybe you do mean dwelling/undue stress/really getting to him/depression symptoms etc.
They exist if you have money.
And if you are able to pay regularly.
Would you believe me if I said that I do not have money? Hard to believe, I know.
Hi-5. Me too.
