How do you think psychiatrists really helpful ?

Some are helpful and some aren’t you have to shop for one that you feel comfortable with it takes time also you have to be ready 2 see one and willing to open and share your feelings with if you can’t be honest with yourself tnan how can you be honest with a shrink or councellor also keep this in mind they are only human too and make mistakes there is a difference between pshycologist and phychotherapist only one can prescribe drugs if needed or in other words antidepressants…anxiety pills ect…

To some people they can be extremely helpful ! And god only knows how many people they have prevented committing suicide…Not all psychiatrists are the same so that’s a ridiculous statement to make.. you may as well say all doctors are wallet snatchers while your at it nobody’s perfect so yes malpractice does happen but they help an awful lot more people than they harm… Just because your friend had a bad experience with ONE psychiatrist doesn’t mean everyone has the same experience… Xo:)

No offense, but your friend should have gone to their general doctor. Psychiatrists aren’t trained nor meant to diagnose serious physical diagnoses…

So you’re blaming the psychiatrist for not finding what the general physician was supposed to have found? I think you’ve got your own issues that have nothing to do with this case.
