I hate all therapists

[horrorofBeing]

It is seriously fucked up that there are no remotely accurate reviews online for psychotherapists or other mental health professionals. All the reviews are fake: 100%, 5 star, A+, whatever. It's like it would be cruel to give these people a realistic rating. Meanwhile my local hardware store, where some would say the stakes are not nearly as high, gets a more than accurate rating. 2 stars because the cashier is a dick. I know not to go there to get my keys made, but I still have no idea who is good at treating mental illness.

I know if a piece of entertainment is effective or not, but apparently it is inhumane for me to want an honest, forthright perspective on a mental health professional. What is this psychotic world I am trapped in? They are probably afraid that they will get inaccurate ratings from people they think are delusional. So get rid of the ratings system altogether. What stops them from being delusional themselves?

What really blows my mind is the fact that every therapist, nurse, psychologist, and psychiatrist I've ever had to interact with are the ones who should be censored. I remember being 9 years old and my dad told me that most people who go into the mental health profession only do so for selfish reasons. Sadly that stupid fucking piece of shit remains correct yet again.

I think the broad obsession with psychology has come full circle. Soon we will stop believing in it again. If it gets rid of the scammers, then good riddance. But how will we ever know either way?

Hey look. It's the head psychologist of Western Carolina University's own Counseling and Psychological Services.


She's a plant working for the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors. They are a scam organization that steals government grants and uses them to buy extra cars and beachside vacation homes for themselves. This is a picture of them together. They are so happy together.

Maybe off topic but I went to a psychiatrist that was recommended from inpatient and she had so many bad reviews of messing people up (including me) but people are still going to her and sent to her from a hospital recommendation. It seems like reviews don't even matter in situations like that because we are the patients they are the doctor/therapist and people view them with more authority.

I feel you OP. I've recently been reading up a lot about the anti-psychiatric movement of the 1960s and later, I can really reccommend that for you, because I agree with your point of it going full circle - in a way.
There is a huge potential for movements of criticism of psychology and psychiatric care.
