Okay, look.
Professional psychological help is really dependent upon the people involved. So yeah, sometimes, it might not help you with one particular psychologist, but if that's happening, they're obligated to refer you to someone else if you ask. That is like, literally the first thing in the ethical code IIRC, although I haven't read it recently enough to be sure.
I think you have somewhat strange ideas about what health professionals in general must and must not do....
Psychiatric professionals? Tiruin linked their ethical code, which I read.
Haven't seen that. I have, however, checked the local deontological codes for both medical professionals and psychologists. Patients have a specific right to look for second opinions and/or ask for their case info and documents. Nowhere does it state that if the patient wants to switch doctors and/or psychologists the previous person in charge of their treatment must be the one to look for an alternative.
Both are true. What TBF is saying is that if the professional by themself sees that the concerns the person is bringing up is not within their specialty (or that in continuation of their specific work with them may bring more harm than otherwise), they shall refer them to those who are more capable.
Also, CP is a doctor, TBF.
Sorry, guys, I kindo f had a mental breakdown. I know that doesn't excuse what I said, but I'm so sorry. :c
Thanks for saying sorry.
My impression about Gamedragon and the context is that what he's saying is trusted to be valid--that's a basic point within going with others, treating whatever they say as substantial. But any amount of cynicism will not help further--when a person uses an outlet to express or vent (ie the sad thread), sometimes they may not have outlets currently present to them IRL; sometimes they aren't seeking for help from others online and just want to be listened (and this does happen.)
But GD does need help. Other people PMing him is not the endpoint, but is something such as psychological first aid--they can help alleviate the stress and help move with understanding, possibly working around concerns he's been having on his mind for days and weeks with nobody to
thoroughly talk them over with. (eg Making a diary or writing down your ideas so there's something tangible to go back to or present to others if you can't vocalize it) It's like talking to friends or other people who want to help (albeit without the non-verbal communication part that's mainly into text)--they may not give exacts or ends to meet and fully aid a concern that's been present for weeks or months or further, but these can help in the current time, as a possible outlet, or as someone to communicate with.
Related sads on my part would be people applying labels to the psychological or medical field due to individual happenings, which once or twice or several times over may have given a negative impact for them to condemn
the whole bloody field.
Although I can't usually get sarcasm and combine it with cynicism and that's be believing every word you said in a O_o!? way.
