500milesto4 karma

For me the last two bullets about bad experiences and finding a good fit were major blockers. I think also another is how do you know when you are healed?

I would get medicine in the past and feel better, but not heal the underlying issue. So when I went off the meds I would go back to same problems. The psychiatrist that prescribed the meds only seemed to care about getting me in to charge for the appointment. They didn’t really do any therapy or just gave a quick suggestion to go to a therapist. It felt like they just wanted to make sure I was coming back so they could charge, so didn’t want me to heal with therapy. Though I think therapist can have a similar issue of just keeping the patient as long as possible to be able to charge for the session. Is there anything being done to combat this? I think it leads to a lot of the mistrust in therapy and psychiatry.
