Only the lousy shrinks lie. They lie because they don't know the answer. The truthful ones are able to say "I don't know" when they don't know.
I know some people have some terrible experiences with meds. I've had some terrible experiences. But I think my experiences have been more terrible without meds. No doctor ever told me I HAD to take medication. They offered it, I tried it, and it worked for me.
HURRAY! Next month I can switch insurances and finally get a decent pdoc that will actually work to help me get my anxiety under control. The moron I have now just throws meds at me and crosses his fingers. The good news is that I can now tell future doctors all the things that didn't work.
I'm babbling. I just had some other stuff to get out. But I think the correct statement is BAD shrinks lie. :)
