"Self-help" does not need to be solely for personal problems and you don't know from the OP's context whether the problem that requires an "invention" is of a personal nature or not. Did he get "help"? Yes. Did he provide the "help" him"self"? Yes. There ya go! :-) | |
| May 23, 2013 at 22:04 | comment | added | Sam | I would say that the phrases "self-help", "self-diagnosed" and "self-medicated" apply more to problems of a personal nature rather than an inventor as in the question. | |
