I am by no means cured of my psychiatric disorders — and some are not even under control — but my experience has been that the majority of mental health professionals have been very good and wise and kind in their specialties. They saved me a couple of times.

I’m having a hallucinatory return of an old adversary just now. I see my shrink/therapist Tuesday.

Not sure about you, but I need people in the mental health fields. I have felt much more compassion in the mental health fields than in the physical health fields. So many times I’ve been knocked out, cut upon, and awakened in surgical ICU without meeting the surgeon. And he pops in at 7 the next morning with a 5-minute explanation of his experience and findings. It’s a big ugh to find an empathetic cardiologist than psychiatrist.

I think that there are more bad eggs in a pool of physical health specialists than in psychiatric fields.
