Thanks and full ACK to nexuist. Are we here to help a human in struggle or are we more interested to discuss the level of (mental) health care in nation state XYZ in detail? I commented to hopefully help the OP in struggle; regardless of the nation state the OP is living in. Wherever the OP lives, I am very sure that there is INITIAL help very close for free in terms of money; wherever the journey will end and however it will look like. Talking to someone will help. We are all human beings.

> I am very sure that there is INITIAL help very close for free in terms of money; A hotline call (where available) can avert an immediate crisis but is not able to address underlying challenges. Recovery needs extended time with mental healthcare professionals. All indications are that most of Earth's population doesn't have access to that. For them, the advice of "Just Go Get That Free Help" isn't helpful. I'm not saying we shouldn't help. I'm saying that assuming they have access isn't helpful - unless we actually know they do. To be helpful, we need to ask if they know of services in their area. If they don't know, we can offer to look if they're willing to share their general location. If we strike out (not unlikely), we can learn more about them and their region - see if some obscure solution can be unearthed. It takes time to provide the help that folks actually need. (note: Evidence that most of our 7.8 billion have reasonable access to usable mental healthcare is absolutely welcome).
