You are misstating the facts. He suggested that OP see a mental health worker, which is an indirect way of insulting someone. There was not an iota of compassion or concern in that comment, despite the teary-eyed pleadings to the contrary.
If he were suggesting a third party, there was no reason why it had to be a mental health worker. Any uninvolved person - friend, co-worker, coach, etc. (as I commented previously) would have done.
Turn it around for a moment. Let's say you posted something, and someone suggested you see a mental health worker. Would you not feel that this person was being insulting? Would you believe for a moment that he or she was only trying to help you, by saying you're unstable, or stressed, or whatever? I certainly wouldn't.
