I was sent to psych eval in kindergarten cause I claimed I was a rabbit. Fortunatelly the psych was good and said it is normal for kids to want to be other people and animals and ****.
sent to another psych eval when I was ten and my father died and i was grieving. Was recommended meds and designer clothes. Fornatelly, mom never proceeded with that advice.
Last encounter was in first year of Uni. Meds and maybe dropping out was adviced. And not travelling.
I actually met a semi good psychologist when volunteering at foster care. He said I seem okay, just be careful and be honest if I am struggling. Reasonable advice...
haven't tried the system since though and not sure if I ever will. From what I hear from others, or the way the experts present themselves in media (using simplistic language......... and often calling all psych meds "anti-depressants" or giving advice as "stand naked in front of mirror and say you love yourself and hug a teddy bear"), not sure I am interested.
