Do the answers in mental health frighten you as much as they do me?

Although there are some good answers..not very many...few people suggest seeking help from a psychiatrist to be the first step a person takes. I shuffled from counselors to psychologists for 20 years before I had to suffer severe psychosis that could have been prevented had I started with the best. Problems versus mental illness is a very serious thing not to play around with. All these polyanna answers frighten me for the askers.

Answers:
Don't beat up yourself or the counselors you were seeing. There is no indication that psychosis can be prevented (unless it is a temporary psychosis due to a drug or toxin).

But it's true that early recognition and early treatment leads to a better outcome.

Your just Jeaslous Cause The Voices Only Talk To Me & The Little Green Guys With The White Coats Are Good Friends Of Mine!!
they do not frighten me at all, I have worked with mentally ill people for years, and I have seen and heard a lot in that time.
It frightens me that the askers have to ask on AnyQA.com. :-/

There are any number of reputable websites (webmd for one) to look to for advise, and rather than doing that, they take the lazy way out and look here. There are places to look for medical advise - and if medical advise of any sort needs to seriously be asked, it should be started with a persons physician.

I wouldn't always blame the people who answer- the people who ask need to be seeking real attention if they have a problem.
Hi America.
England calling.

It seems to us that you Yanks go to see a psychiatrist for just about any reason.
Lose a boyfriend/girlfriend - if you are scared of spiders - worried about your figure - it just goes on and on - "Oh my God! What will I do? My psychiatrist is on holiday next week. HELP!"

Over here, in England - we just roll our sleeves up and get on with life.

I think maybe it's time you all grew up over there.

They scare the hell out of me! Some of the people who answer obviously have no idea of what they are writing.
People that are "hearing things" or "seeing things" or may be suicidal need immediate assistance. Other people just come here for things that are not quite imperative. If people didn't want input, they wouldn't be asking - most know what to expect here - everything & everything. I'm happy you found someone qualified to assist you.
