While they will definitely not have the answers or advice on how to solve all the issues you encounter, they do have insight into helping people deal with issues that often feel insurmountable because of mental illness. i.e. if you are depressed, and that is preventing you from finding a good job or performing adequately in your current one, they might be able to help you understand why you are depressed and what's keeping you from doing anything about it. They can help you reveal things about yourself that you didn't realize, which can help you then move forward with things that you've been avoiding or deal with things that you've been holding onto for the wrong reasons.

A good therapist will help you to find reasons to and ways to deal with your problems. A mental institution provides a place for people who are a danger to themselves or others to get mental health treatment.
