We have a community led technical support forum, why not a community led mental health support forum too?~A~
Because this is a Gaming forum and not a Doctors or Specialist forum for these type of health issues.
As Loki said anyone posting might look ok but deep down maybe not for them if they read some trolls replies or a reply they do not like. It could cause more issues then the blame for anything going wrong would fall on Jagex for allowing that section in the first place. It's also not fair on F-Mods who would be expected to deal with anything others feel might be out of order. F-Mods are not trained in dealing with Mental Health Issues. (Some maybe be but no idea who) We leave it to Jagex's dedicated team.
When Jagex do anything with aweness they have fully trained staff working on it. Which is good for all. Hence the events they put on to help people out.
So having a whole section for me personally is a bad idea as the Forum Community are not qualified in mental health issues. Comprehensive Account Security

I understand what you're both saying. If the hurdles can be overcome, would you still be against such a forum?~A~
Sadly Yes. It's my own personal choice really.
I just feel the risk is too much. It only takes 1 bad post on a thread and then something bad happens.
Now if it were an Invite only section that could be monitered by trained Jagex staff thats different kettle of fish.
Jagex makes the calls anyway so who knows.
I do get where you are coming from don't get me wrong. I just think it's not for these forums.
Also at times you may see the odd topic in Off Topic or General chat about someone just wanting to talk about mental health issues etc. Threads don't really last long as either the Op gave up or the replies left upset them. Comprehensive Account Security

We did have a mental health thread dedicated to your opening post in Off Topic Forum. That thread went well, as far as I can remember it was a very positive receiving post, lots of support, can't recall any negatives, if there was I'm sure it was dealt with fast. I feel either look for this thread and keep it active or make your on thread, maintain it and keep it active
Good luck
Good luck

Perhaps a change in title would assuage the situation.
Something along the lines of "Healthy Gaming Habits" or "Healthy Lifestyle" perhaps. A~
Now you are getting somewhere. Not saying from my own prospective it will work but a title does go a long long way to set the tone of the thread.
I also agree with you that it's a very difficult topic and have to take baby steps first.
