Is It True That Therapists Cause More Problems Than They Cure?

Question by Sarah: Is it true that therapists cause more problems than they cure?
Therapists, Pychologists, Psychiatrists, etc I don’t really understand the difference so explain them if you want.

For example drug addiction? Or maybe they’ll make patients believe they have some other mental illeness or something?

Answer by Brad
No! Therapists are there to help you with all of your problems. They are trained professionals, and try to help you as best they see fit. I think therapy can be a great way to help yourself.
