Sure, having an caring and empathetic partner might help me cope with my intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and ADHD, but I still need a therapist. My therapist understands how my brain works and gives me strategies for dealing with maladaptive behaviors. My partner likely wouldn't have that kind of education, and even if she did, that's not her job.

Additionally, there's already a lot of stigma around mental illness, especially for men, and that causes them to not seek professional help, because they see that as admitting to a character flaw. Messages like this aren't helping.
