Well depression & anxiety leads to dick issues and dick issues lead to depression and anxiety… seems intuitive that you will find people with mental health issues here. Myself included.

The Mental health system is fundamentally broken
Yep I agee. I went to a psychologist specializing in sexual health issues and he just gave me a 300 question quiz that had little to do with sexual health issues and charged me $1,875.00 for it. Probably could have taken it on google for free but when you are in distress looking for help your judgement is clouded.

Re: do mentally ill invade this forum?
I'll share my 2 centavos regarding my personal views on mental health.
I've had a great career in a dream job (airline pilot) but have carried the weight of anxiety and stress (raising kids, two wives, constant work pressure, money, ED, etc) for many years. After awhile i perceived what i now call "the contraction", a never-ending tightness in my gut and furrow in my brow. I came to realize that I was living almost constantly feeling the physical effects of the stress response. Fight. Flight. Hide. Relaxing didn't come easy and a few years ago I began to suspect that i might be clinically depressed. Despite that, I performed well at work and kept it all together in those other regards, but it was a struggle.
Like most people, I sought relief in the usual distractions. Mostly pleasure-seeking. Vacations. Sex. A revolving door of girlfriends and partners. "Stuff" (boats, motorcycles, RV). But i came to realize that I was confusing pleasure seeking with meaning. And it has been finding meaning that has been my focus the past few years. I do feel that I've made great strides.
The most significant thing I feel that I've done is available to everyone. That is, read. Books, the right books (for me), seem to come along at the right time and began to give me some new perspectives on my personal philosophical views. I guess in a nutshell, I could say i have a better philosophy of life now, one that continues to evolve (which alone is exciting. It's never good to be stuck in a rut mentally). But simply that, books. In a world of easy distractions, tv, internet, porn, booze, it's so easy to consider the act of sitting down with a book and digesting it as rather boring. I feel it's becoming a bit of a lost art in the modern world. But, if we do not consciously allow new perspectives and thoughts to enter our heads then we are stuck with the same old thoughts, recycled over and over again. If those thoughts have led us to a place where we are not well, we do have a choice to at least entertain new thoughts, which may very well lead to a new and better experience.
Here are a few books that have helped me:
"The Power of Now" - Eckhart Tolle
"Becoming Supernatural" - Dr. Joe Dispenza
"Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" - Dr. Joe Dispenza
"The Joy of Living" - Mingyur Rinpoche
(btw, all the above authors can be seen on youtube, but their books are better. Youtube, in my opinion, feeds the phenomena of short attention span.
FWIW
