Answer 1

hey Gigi

My father is a psyciartirst :0

So trust me alot goes to see him, but the point some go without a reason, some go for a reason but at the end most of them hide that they went there unless they are telling it as an adventure or they have nothing to worry about .

Answer 2

This is one of the mysteries I can't understand about the Egyptian mentality. It's a doctor like any other doctor, what's the big deal?! I went to a psychiatrist when I was kid in the States and I was teased by other kids at school because of that. I can't imagine what it would have been like here! From what I see on TV series I probably would have been chased around by kids yelling ilmagnoona aheh! lol

Why it is such a stigma is beyond my understanding, but I guess it all depends on the way you were brought up. My sister went to one recently after suffering from depression and my family all knew about it. 3ady, no problem. A friend of mine, however, who has lost her husband a few years ago and is still suffering from very severe depression was faced by huge opposition from her mother when she said she wanted to go to a psychiatrist. Ilmoseeba is that her mom is educated and a teacher. She told her why go, are you crazy?! I was so mad at her I told her to lighten up and not give the poor girl a hard time hiya mish na2sa. When you are in situations like this you look for support from your family, not ridiculing and opposition.

I guess the media has to stop portraying shrinks as crazy comic characters to be laughed at and to present the issue in a more serious and positive light.

Answer 3

I don't see it as a shame as some think, just as some friends say above, this is a doctor like any other one.
Moreover, going to a psychiatrist is "more normal" nowadays than going to a physical doctor, how come?
Man consists of physical body as well as a soul, so when there is a physical problem, one goes to the appropriate doctor while when the problem is psychological, one should talk to a psychiatrist, and as we live in a time where psychological problems are more than and more complicated than those of physical body, then chances are you'll need a psychiatrist more than your need to physical doctors.
From another view, it's more important to imitate the west in accepting going to a psychiatrist than imitating them in their look and bad habits only, isn't it?!!!

However, I believe something, I believe that this who sticks to their religious teachings (Islamic I mean), straight behavior, and READING QURAN will not need a psychiatrist.

For me, I haven't gone to one as a psychiatrist, and hope not to need to isa.

Answer 4

Take me with you wenaby i feel the over stress you have because of this sick damn sanawaya 3ma excuse me ba2a and there were the worst 2 years in my whole entire life, now when are you going for one?

Answer 5

only stupid people say it's 3eib.actually it's sometimes a must.
i went to an excellent psychiatrist with a friend who needed help after she lost her husband.
he was very helpful. she regained her health after about 3 months of treatment.
if she were stupid and refused to be treated, she might have committed suicide because she was depressed.

Answer 6

yep..i did..but as time goes by, seeing people and their everyday behaviour i realized i am ok..

why? ok..i was in desperate need to know why i have strong tendency to pee in the shower

Hey Gigi!? are you related to Gigi 3?

feh 7ad esmo Gigi 3 bey7oom fel mante2a..

Answer 7

I do not think it's "3eib", I thought to do that & I am still thinking but actually I don't know why I didn't go/ may be I am so busy or so lazy, I don't know.
But I belive that I will go one day ISA.

Answer 8

The Egyptians dont go to phychiatrists, because they are too busy riding camels, and beating their wives.

Answer 9

i thought of it but find that friends are best psychiatrists
wheni speak to them about my problems and what i really feel whatever it was i feel a great comfort mentally and pshically too:)))))))))))))))))
