The respondents were less favourable about the effectiveness
of professional help for serious emotional problems.
Only in Spain the majority of respondents (61.4%)
held the view that professional help was considerable or
much better than no help. In Italy 45.2% shared this view,
and in the other countries this varied between 15.8%
(the Netherlands) and 27.7% (France). Stated differently,
almost a third of all respondents believed that professional
care was worse than or equal to no help when faced with a
serious emotional problem.
