" People simply don't want to admit that they have an issue that they need to address, and perhaps grow and mature". quote TheDragon
I didn't "say" that you said that Venus. I am answering your question, read my post prior to the one you quoted Venus. What is the quote above saying?
I am not "criticizing" you for asking your questions either. I will say that it hit some nerves in me though, and I have explained why, and situations where people have treated my "emotional challenges" in dismissive ways.
And I have found out from my therapist that several of his patients were treated poorly by the same psychiatrist at the psychward I went to. And I have heard from a specialist that knows he is a "jerk". My own therapist has admitted how poor the system is for treating patients like me as well.
I have tried to explain that had I been effectively treated, I could have avoided developing full blown PTSD. It is very upsetting to watch a specialist on TV talk about how the parents and family members close to anyone that dealt with Newtown to watch for danger signs, make sure that people got to discuss their "emotional duress" as much as they needed, to watch out for withdrawl and signs of depression because that is a dangerous sign that PTSD is setting in. It was very hard to watch this advice knowing that I suffered through all these stages and all the while was "treated in very dismissive even mean ways".
It is an insult if anyone considers "emotional problems" simply as a sign of "lack of maturity" in someone. PTSD doesn't happen due to "lack of maturity".
