      Definitely WorseHelp.
      They often lack the resource, experience and expertise to handle anything like an actual disorder, they also cannot diagnose or prescribe medication, they cannot give referrals for specialists either.
      That means you're basically just talking to a counselor that the government can probably provide to you for free, who is local and knows what's available to you.
      At most they can combat loneliness and mild grief, or similar.
      And even so, there's been so many horror stories from clients and therapists alike, that it vastly outweighs the good.
      Please seek a referral from a doctor instead. They do NOT have your best interest in mind.
