A psychiatrist can only help someone that's honest. If you're running down the street naked, that's one thing. If a person who is depressed walks in and says they are fine and never attempted suicide, are you telling me a psychiatrist can see inside their mind and go nope, I can tell, because I am a doctor, that you have attemted suicide in the past.
I psychiatrist is only helpful when you tell them your condition, they are not mind readers and anyone can act one way when they are feeling completely the opposite when they want something, it's called acting.
