As in every job there are dispirited, cynical, lazy, stressed people.

Unfortunately it is the negative jobs that stick in the mind. I have spoken to many “mental health professionals” who to me should be looking for another career. Then I have had the good fortune to see others who work tirelessly on the patients behalf.

Its usually the system that grinds the staff down….no excuse really but thats the way it is.

That was one of the most depressing thing I have read in a while.

Its just a way of passing the buck and getting out of doing something for someone who needs help. All it might take is a sympathetic ear or someone to pay attention to them. Thats what they are trained and paid to do is,nt it?

That’s a new one for the list, kinda self limiting though isn’t it?

Know exactly what you mean about ‘personality disorders’, the other favourite shoulder-slope down here is the ‘has he/she had a drink or taken drugs? We can’t assess them if they have’…………
