In health care we seek help when we have a problem to solve. According to The Sound of Music, instead of having a problem, you are a problem. There's even a song: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.
My problem was mental health.
As a clinician in the mental health system I grew frustrated because of the subtle and not so subtle ways people were insulted, intimidated and sometimes threatened, not to mention poisoned. (Revisit my post about Dr. Peter Breggin)

But you are not a problem, you are a person.
I decided I didn't want to continue that language. It's quite the challenge. I still fall into it when I'm speaking with others.
