I know mental health workers are not compassionate. I know they think just like the rest of the population that it's more like taking care of monkies in a zoo rather than people. Also there are a lot of healthcare people in general who are not compassionate. I always wonder "how in the hell did you decide to go into this career if you hate people so much???"
But, I think there are those that when you find them are awesome.
My experience with mental health workers is limited. All the Ts I've had were "happy puppy rainbow" type. I needed serious help and they didn't do anything about it. My psychologist when I got diagnosed was really good. She's the one that retired.

But shew as an older, no nonsense lady. I hope to find someone else like her someday....
