> I think the last line of your post is most significant because there are some quality psychiatrists out there, but you have to search for them, and that is often difficult to do, especially when you are in distress and feeling desperate. There are, indeed, some terrible psychiatrists out there who are lazy -- or worse; however, that is true of people in EVERY specialty, in every profession. In every field, there are a few top notch people, there are many average people, and then, at the bottom of the barrel, there are a few terrible, lazy, unethical bad apples who should have never been admitted to medical school (or whatever field it is you're talking about) in the first place.
Hey,
This is very true. Actually, I have had been treated by 3 psychiatrists during my life .... I changed because I moved to different schools and hospital for my career over the past 7 years. My first psychiatrist was compassionate and extremely dedicated to his field. I would actually say he was the hardest working and motivated doctor in ANY FIELD I have every met. He worked harder then most surgeons.
Granted, psychiatrists must be given some credit .... I hate to listen to me when I am depressed .... I can't image listening to me 10 hours a DAY! And the salary is the lowest amongst all physicians .... very difficult to pay off 150,000.00 of medical school debt on their salary.
