We have been through so many freaky doctors in 17 years (some of whom I could have initiated malpractice against - but why add the extra trouble, since I caught and corrected the bumble?) that I have come to the general conclusion that apparently a LARGE percentage of folks who majored in psychology/psychiatry in college
I hope you do understand that there is a huge difference between psychology and psychiatry. Unfortunately, you get a bad mix of therapists, counselors and psychiatrists no matter where you go. The latter wants to say, "take these pills and you will feel better," while the latter says, "we should talk about what is bothering you."
that I have come to the general conclusion that apparently a LARGE percentage of folks who majored in psychology/psychiatry in college did so to try and figure THEMSELVES out, and failed to do so.
No argument there. Probably 50-60% of all psych majors I have encountered were studying psychology to to help understand themselves. Although I disagree with the failing part as you are making a generalization and it seems like you have some pent up resentment.
