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.
I'd agree with that 100% but I've seen some that have been helped so I'll say I agree at least 90%. I've seen personally the "help" some have recieved for depression and its a joke, a very cruel joke.
Even the Abilify commercial now running in TV adds states that 2/3rds of people treated for depression still have symptoms. Try some alchohol, its less harmfull to the kidney and liver and in moderation works just as well.

I have a relative that was almost killed by these fools drugging him up so much he almost died. I told him to get off that sh*t because I could see what he couldn't and he was in serious danger from his meds harming him.
When he told his Dr. he wanted lower doses the Doc said I'm thinking of raising them actually
He's since had a neuro tell him what I did, get off all of these meds because his brain can't handle proccessing that much, he was loosing his ability to walk from being so overdosed.

(Most) of these Docs I also think are a joke, along with the drug companies, its all a scam. Yes there are some good, but I think the majority are lousy.

As for TG issues, I'd trust a paper written by a TG professional more than than average doc that learned his/her info from a book.
