I think it is sending Reddit a message that a user needs help. It has happened to me in the past. I received a messages front ‘Reddit’ that said a concerned user reported I was in distress. There’s an option somewhere, I can’t remember where off the top of my head, that you can anonymously report that someone on Reddit has expressed that they need help or that they are suicidal or depressed.
