Most people don’t get help soon enough. Someone who experiences psychosis usually doesn’t get treatment until more than a year later. Someone with bipolar typically isn’t diagnosed until more than three years after their first mood episode.
In many venues, I think it’s okay to tell people the official narrative for dealing with mental health without evidence, but in this space, I would like to see evidence for a claim like “Most people don’t get help soon enough”.
This means I would like a discussion of the likely impact of seeking professional care vs. not seeking it before making such a claim.
