Agreed. It's especially important not to confuse a chronic issue with something like stress. If you experienced a major event and it forced you to work long hours, introduced a lot of uncertainty, strained your family, etc. you'd "have issues" but they'd be transient.

Okay, I'm wrong for saying that. I apologize.
What I'm trying to say is that I would bet money everyone would benefit from some sort of counseling in their lifetime.
Citation very, very badly needed. Can't make the assertion that _everyone_ is screwed up in the head without evidence.
I don't have issues; I get I'm a single datapoint, but your assertion was essentially that everyone's got them. So now you can think of one. I've got a happy life and everything's going well for me and my family. Hiccups here-and-there, like everyone, but good overall.
