They trained on reddit too hard. Everything is "Talk to a therapist, lawyer up, consult with your medical doctor". It's just used for deflection after someone gives (usually bad) advice.

Complaining that people giving bad advice are encouraging you to talk to a specialist? Wouldn’t it be worse if they encouraged you to listen to them and not ask a specialist?

I don’t see any other options: by definition non-specialists can’t give specialist advice. Specialists aren’t obliged to give free advice, don’t know your situation, and won’t want to prove their qualifications to comment on Reddit. Restricting free speech so nobody can talk outside their knowledge is rife with problems.
