There seem to be more people with serious mental health issues posting here these days. As much as we want to be supportive, I don’t think the well-intentioned advice of a bunch of schmucks on a hockey forum will do any good for the really troubled ones. It could present coping strategies that worsen the condition, validate unhealthy behaviour, or lead people to delay seeking professional help.
Maybe mods should have a boilerplate statement with links to mental health resources available to post in threads where posters seem highly distressed.
