many actually are in the care of other psychiatrists. i kid you not. how they can then go on to treat others while being under care themselves is beyond me, acting like they know what’s best for others.

Cognitive science has come a long way since Freud.
Yabut, they will be the wons to determine if the gov’t will grab your gunz sooner rather than later....

Psychiatry is really changing. Freudian psychiatry is dying out. Many psychiatrists today are quite good. I’ve known several that were top notch.
One was a biochemical psychiatrist who would often spend six months adjusting medications for a challenging patient to help problems so rare they weren’t even mentioned in the textbooks.
Another was an “objective” psychiatrist with Sherlock Holmes style deductive ability. He diagnosed physical diseases that Internists and even specialists would miss. Impressive to watch, he diagnosed one woman after asking what she normally ate for breakfast, which turned out to be a rare and toxic foreign dish that she just loved and ate regularly, which was killing her.
