I simply have found a code of ethics and sticked to practicing it:
A-Don't kill
B-Don't steal
C-Don't murder your children -including not making women pregnant knowing you can't provide for any resulting child-.
D-Leave people alone to choose their path in life.
If I have a problem in keeping and maintaining this code of ethics; I would ask a shrink for a solution.
Currently I take anti-depressants with my regular meds. Helped me a lot.
I would say you don't understand the practice of therapy. Sure, like any medical practitioner, they learn how to perform their profession in college, but any good therapist does far more than read from a script. A lot of people with no experience in therapy don't understand what it is or how it works. All I can say is that you can't judge something you have no experience with or don't understand.
And it's really sad that you believe that you would only need a therapist if you had problems with one of those things on your list. There are lot of other problems/issues in life than that short list.
Take this with a grain of salt Winter, spongy has 'everyone needs therapy' bias. You may or may not benefit, routinely check in with your physicians and follow their directions. If they suggest therapy give it a try, you can always quit.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
