ChatGPT is not avoiding you. It is being careful.

For health, money, or legal topics, it points you to an expert. That is the safe and honest thing to do.

But you can still get real help. Ask it to explain the topic, not to decide for you.

Try this
  1. Ask ChatGPT to explain the topic in simple words.
  2. Ask for good questions to bring to your professional.
  3. Use those answers to feel ready and less worried.
