Okay. Well, you get functional enough to afford the hookers and blow then, and the rest of us will keep working on our negative cognitions because we're not rich enough to afford your brand of mental illness health.

So it’s not a medical treatment, is a random crapshoot that doesn’t work for most people, and is compensated for through psychotropic drugs? It’s not a real field, it’s quackery. It’s where you go when there’s no other option. If I wanted to pay someone to pretend to care about my problems, I’d hire a prostitute. I’d be cheaper than paying for a therapist.

I appreciate the sentiment but it's not a joke field. At best, its practitioners in this country are misled by patriarchal and racist attitudes endemic to medicine as a whole. Therapy does work, i happen to run a queer/nd support group for teens and young adults in the community. I'm neither, btw. But I'm trans and I know group therapy is basically queer culture because of how much trauma we carry around. So I help. And we speak to each other about what our therapists say too, both to support and criticize. We put it all out there because that's how we heal.
I'm sorry they hurt you too. I have my own grudge with the establishment, but there are good people - good therapists out there. I have one now - a nature and dog loving lesbian with a heart of gold (and maybe drinks more than they should, but I'm not judging). But she can't solve all my problems. In truth, I'm not sure anyone can. But she does make me feel like I'm not alone in the world and that...
Well, that's what therapy is for: Figuring out how to connect in a disconnected world.

In your opinion, what effect did COVID isolation in mental health wards (i.e. patients admitted to hospital for psych issues who also tested positive for COVID and were placed under isolation rules as well) have on ward staff and patient outcomes?

Throughout these years,were there some moments where you felt that you'd get short of new patterns in some time?
Also were actually used to be crazy for crosswords at some times like Stanley Hudson?😁

Is it hard to become a clinical psychologist and does it require a big knowledge of math? I want to become one but math really isn't my strong suit.
Edit: Why was I downvoted???
