Indeed, stigmatization exists everywhere and, unfortunately like you said, not everyone in the field is there because they should be. I had a conversation with my old pysch professor about the psych treatment field and how much burn-out there is in general. And that includes people who actually aspired to have such a career. It pains me to see doctors, therapists, and treatment workers without any real sense of compassion. Of course, that extends to most fields of medicine. I remember when I got off drugs and alcohol, I experienced seizures for about three weeks while in treatment. On numerous hospital trips, I had attending doctors and nurses who treated me like dirt when they found out I was in rehab because they just assumed I was there to cop drugs. I finally lost it and told my house manager that if I ever had to go to the hospital again due to a seizure, that he tell them I don't want a damn thing except to be stabilized because I'm not interested in being looked down on or treated like garbage.
