Answer 2

I'm in college right now..a full time student, majoring in psychology and counseling for the chemically dependent. My view is, unless someone meets the qualifications of a psychologist, they likely are not "experts" in the field of psychology. Most people writing in answers in this forum are not even students of psychology. They are just people like me who are trying to help others with what knowledge they do have. And we have a responsibility to be very careful about what we say. People's lives could depend on it. I think it's important for people to understand that most of us are not experts, and when it concerns questions of great importance about psychological health, one should consult an expert. And getting a second or third opinion doesn't hurt, either.

Answer 3

I've worked for a major airline for almost 14 years...
So I'm an expert on anal retentive, namby-pamby travelers who expect to be pampered, consoled, and treated like royalty whenever there are normal delays or cancellations...

Give it up, people...the reason your bags were lost is that you arrived at the airport "way" too late...(and the reason there are delays and cancellations is...

We'd rather you be delayed or cancelled, and miss your wedding, meeting, or graduation rather than...

Kill you...

(so stop complaining...there's a certain amount of "instrinsic" discomfort and hassles involved with flying through the air at 500 miles an hour in a cigar-shaped aluminum tube resting on a giant wing, while you're crammed together in a tiny space with hundreds of other strangers...get used to it...!!!)

Answer 4

In where I am lacking in a degree I make up for in experience. I did pass the initial radiology courses but I usualy don't need that information for a pyscology question. I have grown up with people with serious mental problems and I have also had my share of obsticles to overcome. I wasn't taught about the pyscological medications and problems, I personally have tried them and participated in programs and therapy inpaitient and out patient. After I realized how much time I was wasting with no signs of recovery decided that I would have to heal myself and I did. The professionals may have gone to school but do they actually know how it feels to be so depressed that you don't want to continue living, resorted to self harm to ease the pain, or have been perscribed almost every medication and know what the side effects feel like? I think inorder to be able to relate to someone well enough to help that person to untangle the knots of misconceptions that torment you causeing all the disorders they like to label people with by someone who knows and who has actually been through it all and can tell someone how to help themselves to overcome what is hurting them.

I hope I have not offended anyone I am not saying professionals are not good people or they are without good intentions, but this is my oppinion based on my experiences. I have had about six different diagnosises and haven't taken medications for years I have completly turned my life around and I know everyone can improve themselves if they want to and like me mostly just need to realize that they can.
