Psychiatry, like any profession, seeks to justify its existence, and expand its customer base. If you go to a shrink, would you really expect him to tell you there's nothing wrong with you? That you don't need counseling at $x an hour, and that you don't need prescriptions? Come on. No-brainer here. Give him an hour and that big honkin' DSM, and he'll sure as Sunday mornin' find something wrong with your noggin.
Realize that it's just business, then go on about your life happily ignoring the quacks.
