if you think professionals just single you out, then does it make sense to see them?

for instance, if they tell you stuff that are not even mental disorders or symptoms, such as:

- Not going to church/believing in God
- Going to bars every weekend
- Being rude on occasion, well whenever I feel like it
- Not accepting spirituality as fact (as much of medical canon these days supports this...)

So, as many millions around the world do these things, does it make sense for professionals to single me out and say I am not well? Maybe I've missed the point of medical practice, but then they should be glad if I have no symptoms, right?

'o.O That seems very strange. Noway in hell should a doctor claim someone is "ill" for not having the same belief as them; that's grossly out of order. Are you seeing a regular professional, or like.. a special religious-focused one? I'd recommend a regular one, to be honest. Nothing wrong in having a belief, but pushing it on mentally unwell people is so disturbing, IMO.

...if I've completely mis-read your post, then ignore this. xD

Not only would I not see him, I would also report him immediately. A doctor like that could cause serious problems for somebody who is already confused and looking for answers.
Thanks for this!
