Major Hassan was, in fact, a psychiatrist, and Holmes was in a field of study that would take him into psychiatric research, if not actual practice as a psychiatrist.

How many more psychiatrists and psychiatric researchers are there out there who are themselves CRAZY?

You are surely not the first to muse that, since normal people have very little reason to consider how minds operate (like the driver of a car in good condition has no need to know how a motor operates) then someone who does consider such things must be motivated to do so by some kind of personal mental imbalance, as a good mechanic probably owned a bum car. One really can't know that, a priori. But I had a buddy who absolutely swore by that notion. How does one argue against an idee fixe?

Quite a percentage, from my limited experience. Knew several who battled depression and one of them committed suicide. Couple others were recovering alcoholics, one Viet vet had post-traumatic stress issues.

I realize that psychology does not equal psychiatry but I've heard that at least some of those who go into psychology do so to learn what is wrong with themselves.

Also it was the main psychiatry organization that "normalized" homosexuality from being an abnormal sexual desire.
