How many people on this sight have to go to a shrink and what for? I go cause of my parents divorce. It sucks

i used to see one, with my family, because my brother was diagnosed with autism and we were having a hard time dealing with it.

give your "shrink" a chance- they're not all bad, some just have a bad rep. if you're seeing a psychiatrist and don't like it, i would suggest switching to a psycologist- someone who will actually help you talk through your problems, rather than just going "mmm-hmmm" and giving you a prescription. don't get me wrong, sometimes things like depression or something can have a purely chemical cause, in which case no amount of talking will cure it, but with something like your parents divorcing, drugs probably wouldn't help.

i hope your "shrink" can help you out. i'll say a prayer.

i see a therapist cuz, well, its hard to explain. 4 yrs ago i was diagnosed with tourrette's syndrome and OCD. i also had a lot of issues with anxiety and junk. so i was having a lot of problems and my parents thought it'd be helpful if i talked to someone who could help.

Well, I prefer to call her a psychiatrist, but I go to her. I suffer from Panic Disorder. I'm doing a lot better now than I once was, though, and I think I have my psychiatrist and meds to thank for that.

So, in other words, support mental health care...or I'll kill you.
