Yes this is true. But I recall reading somewhere that the shrink community also has an abnormally high suicide rate. Possibly because patients who become dependent on them and talk about the same problems month after month, year after year, eventually make them realise they are professional failures? And I recall a holistic psychiatrist saying that the definition of a psychiatrist is a healer. Which is why she retrained and learned how to assess the whole person on all levels. One patient suffered from depression for many years and was sick from the long term use of medication. This psychiatrist narrowed down her imbalance to a missing enzyme and the patient made a full recovery.
Because that equals: Bye-bye, lifelong patient! And no, that´s not the cup of tea the shrinks enjoy most.
