I don't know about this. They are expert on what they studied in school... and my psychology-student friends don't seem overly intellectual and not many of them acknowledge the intellectual side of depression (when we talk about it in general, I don't speak about myself to them...).

My problems (as much as I am composed person) go far beyond unresolved grief issues, anxieties or relationship issues. And oh, my mood disorder thing (which brings another issue... will somebody want to handle me au naturale and just help me handle who I am? Or am I considered a bad patient from the start for simply refusing to take meds?). But yeah, it is more complicated. Not sure anybody can really help me with my fears.
