I don't trust mental health professionals mainly because they misdiagnosed me and then treated me like the plague. I was left profoundly hurt. The bastards got away with it. Now it takes me a long time to trust them. I have been seeing my psychiatrist for over two years and I still don't completely trust her. It is evident by my reluctance to discuss things like my psychotic symptoms. I'm scared she is going to shape me into a wrong diagnosis like all the others did.
Depression can definitely impair one's judgement. I thought my psychiatrist was lying to me and that she could read my thoughts so I refused to see her during that time. She denied this but I still wonder.
I know she cares but it is not the same as family and friends. She does and says things that suggest it even though those actions are confined due to the nature of the doctor-patient relationship.
