At least in USA , mental help is becoming increasingly available to public for free via health insurance or whatever. However when someone asks someone else condescendingly to go see a shrink it is insulting to both the person & the mental health profession as a whole. I know psychology & psychiatry are not exact science & that is what makes it even harder. because mind is the most complex part of your body & controls the behavior of your body.
For me mental health is available for free thru my insurance & I would not hesitate to take advantage of it. (I know I will now get 1000 posts recommending I should do it. And I have seen the same lame reply 10000 times over the years in TT forums from angry spooster supremacists.)
The level of venom & hatred spewed out in various subtle & overt forms over the years in forums never ceases to amaze me. I do wonder sometimes some mentally super extreme booster supremacists will cross the line past being peacefully & non-violently making their opinions felt because during the height of the speed glue ban & Aspect ratio reduction regulation I had received overt (death threats in forums). So when some newbie hero with no clue about the history of TT springs up to protect supreme spooster supremacists spring up over & over I can only laugh but I admit I am not normal if it does not scare me a little.
This is also why I have been asking ITTF to provide diversity education & sensitivity training for all players from mental health professionals addressing the superiority complexes of the spooster supremacists & the inferiority complexes of the pips /anti players due to total lack of self-esteem & self-respect & self-hatred that forces pips / anti players to use social rubbers while spooster supremacist continue to violate Rule 2.4.7 & Regulation 3.4.2.2. For example police are always required to take such mandatory training. This kind of training should be mandatory for referees, coaches & officials.
Then again if you understood who controls all the councils & committees of the ITTF (& similar groups at national affiliate level such as USATT or TTFI or DTTB etc) I know this is a pipe dream for me because it is a case of fox guarding the henhouse
