Yes. . .but it's not a thing where you can just say, "welp, time to not feel helpless about everything, guess I'll choose to have some self-confidence and lead a typical middle-class existence now". It's a mental/emotional illness that requires just as much professional help as any other mental/emotional illness. The pathetic state of mental and emotional health care in this country is mostly responsible for a lot of it, I'd have to say.
