So what? Everyone has had stories about misdiagnoses or not being taken seriously by doctors, etc. I had a condition that took a long time to get a fix until I changed my doctor and got a proper evaluation done. And that wasn't even for mental health, which the US is not particularly well known for. My doc would come in, listen for maybe 1-2 mins, prescribe some shit and leave. I had to take stuff into my own hands and drive 2 hours to another hospital to finally get something done.

Parent comment is not giving explicit medical instructions. All they're saying is "talk to a medical professional" isn't some miracle advice that always works, particularly for mental health. It's fine to give anecdotes as long as one holds them with a grain of salt.
