If you don't feel you need one, then what are you worried about? On the other hand, you might have the wrong perception about psychiatrists. They have been around for a long time, and have helped many people overcome mental disorders. Mental illness is no different from physical illness, and is nothing to be ashamed of. Many people suffer from mental disorders, but there are therapies and medications that are extremely helpful. Just because you see a psychiatrist does not mean you're crazy, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Good luck!

A good psychiatrist can medicate you properly, see to it that you have a great therapist, and monitor your progress.
However, some psychiatrists have an agenda. I went to see one for emergency medication - and he told me that I would burn in hell... (I hadn't given him any reason to say that).
Though most things you tell a psychiatrist are confidential, in most places there are some exceptions to that rule:
-If you have been abused, psychiatrists are required to report that.
-If you are of danger to yourself, or to anyone else, psychiatrists are required to report that.
-If you were molested, or have molested someone else, psychiatrists are required to report that.
In other words, if you find the right psychiatrist, he or she will be of invaluable help to you--if you did not do something that you are afraid/ashamed to tell him or her. (If you can't tell your psychiatrist everything--he or she cannot help you too much).

There are lots of places to get free counseling other than psychiatrist.

No medical insurance and can't afford to.
No mental illness at present.
No need for prescription medication for depression, pain, or anxiety.
You don't want to.
You're afraid to go to see one.
You feel it's a waste of time.
You wouldn't be comfortable doing this.
The list goes on and on and on....

Lack of money? Not having a reason to see one, or time to see them.
