# Clinical/non-clinical

| Terms widely used to distinguish a section of the population who may have sufficient problems at some point to be likely to benefit from help from those who may not. Perhaps too much associated with a “medical” or “diagnostic model” so “help-seeking” and “non-help-seeking” seem preferable. |
