Some in that field are very good.
I went to a psychiatrist once. It was a few decades ago, the year I had graduated from college. I had run out of money, moved back home with my parents, was very depressed, and doing terribly in job interviews. The psychiatrist basically told me the following:
1. “With your qualifications, you should have a professional job right now. You’re just not trying hard enough.”
2. “Stop blaming your parents for your problems. Be thankful they were willing to let you move back home and are providing for you.”
3. “You say you’re sending out resumes, but you’re not. By our next session, I want you to have applied for one job. I will be asking.” (I said “I could apply for 20 jobs in a week” but the psychiatrist just wanted me to apply for one job. He knew I would say 20 and do none, and it was better to say one and do one. The next session, he said “apply for two jobs by the next session” and soon, I was off and running on my own.)
Within two months, I had a professional job, moved out of my parent’s home, and never went back. No drugs—just honest assessment and direction.
You stil repeat yourself though. Might need a refresher!
