no,it's not that. I look at the mental health field as one filled with quite a bit of ignorance. So, I was being a bit snide. To lack an understanding of the mind, and then stir things up without understanding how it works, is not how a professional would operate in any other field of endeavor. Take psychology - meaning 'study of' and psyche or soul. All the textbooks start out by saying Man is an animal albeit a more developed one. Man is not an animal. Animals are aware, but animals aren't aware of being aware like Man is. Psychology where it's entirely outcome based isn't bad, but meddling with the mind without a certainty of its structure is silly and sometimes dangerous. And then to apply strong chemical treatments or shock treatments that damage is barbaric. Psychiatry is *shivers*. Here in America, they drug so many kids with nasty drugs that have psychotic break as a side effect and then are surprised that they shoot up their schools. Every single school shooting is done by kids who have been taking those nasty drugs. But the solution for the classmates who survive? They bring in the psychiatrists to offer free treatments to the sad students and they just push more of their drugs. Crazy society we have here. It's one reason why I live so far from the cities now. There is a scale that goes from very very good down to very very evil: psychiatric drug pushing is very far down. Sorry if I step on toes :(
