I agree that it was John calling out for Help during beatle-mania. The lyrics do say "When I was younger... I never needed anybodies help in anyway... And now my life has changed in oh so many ways... but every now and then I feel so insecure.." Which doesn't really agree with the idea of this was about John when he was younger. Hes just saying that he didn't need the help when he was younger, but now that he life has changed, it's different. With the pressures of fans and publicities I'm sure it was difficult to feel you were independent when you always had someone following you around.

So much bad information on this site. This song has nothing to do with the Vietnam War or drug use.
This song came out at the height of "Beatlemania" and yes, John is crying for Help. Specifically he is crying out to his wife which by this time he had become increasingly estranged. He's calling out to her to help keep him grounded during this period of insanity in his life.

Guys, they wrote this song for the movie HELP! They called the movie Help! and they needed a song to go with it so they wrote that one after coming up with the title for the movie. I watched the documentary.

I think breakascene is right. The lyrics say, "When I was younger... I never needed anybody's help in any way" that makes sense to John being rebellious when he was young and not being able to be independent anymore.

quoted:
"the song's lyrics stemmed from what john later termed as his 'fat elvis' period, in which he was putting on weight and realising he was actually happier in his penniless menlove avenue [his childhood home] days than he was as a wealthy and well-loved celebrity. and those menlove avenue days had been hardly bliss, spent desperately hiding the pain of the loss of his mother and his uncle george behind his tough guy facade. in "help!" he was saying that he had been wrong not to show that he needed other people's emotional sustenance."
