Wow, you know one bad psychiatrist. I guess every single psychiatrist in the world should be dismissed because the almighty GreatEvilEmpire came across a bad one.
"It's more effective for him to go outside and make some friends" Yeah? And how would you tell someone who has social anxiety to do that? "Just man up and do it"?
Lol. At least a psychiatrist or a therapist would know how to get to the root causes of these things. You just give generic advice that you think will apply to anyone regardless of their mental state, and it doesn't.
Go ahead, advise TC on how he's going to pay $125/hour to see a psychiatrist, if he's not covered by his insurance, who will tell him what I'm telling him now. Find the root of the problem, which is his weight, and start solving problems one by one.
TC is a reasonably intelligent man and he already know his problems. He listed it one by one. He needs a hypnotist more than a psychiatrist. He knows he's fat, but does he need a psychiatrist to tell him that? Maybe the psychiatrist can convince TC to stop drinking large amounts of soda and eat pizza pies or whatever he's diet he's on, right? That's definitely worth $125/hour. Or he can take a stand and stop drinking soda altogether.
What you are talking about is a psychologist and I already see a good one.
A psychiatrist is going to prescribe meds and I haven't gotten linked up with one for a bit, but I still have some current meds I'm on.
That said I was really low when I made this topic but now I feel hopeful. I appreciate the people who were positive and empathetic and don't worry i just ignored those who were not.
