Just to defend moish a little, there IS a stigma associated with seeking professional help. Sad but true. Facing truths is one of the important things that a therapist can help you do. In all cases, the stigma is a worthwhile risk (especially because it is avoidable). Pretending that there is no stigma (or hushing someone who says there is one) is not as helpful as you would think. More helpful is to say “I’ve gone for therapy and I still have friends” or something to that effect.
