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....
I actually read this book I think it was called what doctors feel...it was like they all start out compassionate and their training actually causes them to lose that---they actually said the ones that retain the most compassion tend to go into psych etc----for me in regular medical care its always the nurses that are stellar and the docs give you five minutes---they may not care but they will try to fix your problem---that's why I'm confused with the pnurses being so bad while I pretty much expect minimal care from the pdocs.
