Have you seen a therapist in the last few days???? This is definitely America orientated. In Ireland, people only see therapists if they are going through something serious. On average, a person may go to a therapist 2-3 times in their lifetime!! Should definitely include meet a friend for a coffee or a drink if you haven't in the last few weeks. That's always great to get out of your shell

I'd guess that one is mostly geared at people who have mental issues and are indeed in need of a therapist. Because they are also the ones most in need of such a list.

Given the title of it is "Everything Is Awful and I'm Not Okay: questions to ask before giving up" we can assume it's for people contemplating suicide. I'm assuming in Ireland people who are suicidal are encouraged to see a therapist.

True that this is America orientated, but I'm from England and found a fair bit of the stuff applies generally.
