It doesnt hurt to keep an eye out for that sort of behavior. I havent seen that personally. And i also think these treatments are not that great to begin with, so not getting better is more likely about the ineffectiveness of the treatments.

Not too long ago i saw a chiropracter who dragged out services. He charged 250 to insurance for cracking my back for 2 minutes, then prescribing a supplement. Next visit, hed do the same except crack a different part of my body. Then again.

So it took me awhile to catch on, but he could make more adjustments in one visit, then a list of supplements rather than 1 at a time. Less than 5 minutes of treatment for 250 is robbery. I am thinking of calling my insurance and reporting him.

Thats what unnecessarily prolonging services can look like. Ive never seen that happen in psychiatry, and have been to a lot.
