THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT GO TO MENTAL HEALTH ,THINKING THEY WILL GET HELP BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU DON'T
THE MOST THAT HAPPENS IS THEY TAKE YOUR WEIGHT ,THEN YOU SEE A NURSE,THEN HAVE TO WAIT 10-30MIN'S AN THEN YOU SEE THE DOCTOR,WHO TALKS TO YOU FOR 5-10MIN'S. THEN THEY REFILL YOUR MEDICATION AN SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY. no therapy,what help is that....they come in with the same problems,then leave with the same problems. What good does it do?, if you have an therapist then you might find some answers,but if you don't well the person is still screwed up as before. The best thing I can tell you is listen with an open mind,be careing an stay postive, that gives the person hope.
Another thing that might help is look up on the web, about their problems then when you talk to them you will knowwhat to tell them,this can help them understand what they are dealing with. also if they have a computer tell them the web sites that they can look up at their own time. if they don't print it out then give it to them,this way they will not be in the dark about their problem.
