It is my opinion that he should get over the word "should".
You know, just this last Tuesday, my therapist (who is a doctor) and I were discussing that so many folks get into the field of psychology to escape, hide from, or cover up their own mental illness. It's called a practice - not a perfect, for a reason. As everyone is different, there isn't a one size fits all answer for everyone. He "should" know this.
I suffered from horrible combat related PTSD and you know what? I'm over it. Does that make me strong?
I still suffer from a single idle comment from my mother when I was a child. Does that make me weak?
No and no.
Those of us who suffer from mental illness fight wars. Very few things I have less tolerance for than some pdoc playing armchair general talking about how 'this war should have been won by now'. Darn draft dodger.
