"Just talk to someone bro"
A good friend of mine was severely depressed and was told to go get mental health counseling, arguably the stupidest piece of advice that could ever be offered to anyone. He booked an appointment with a well-known therapist. After a number of sessions, during which he foolishly revealed that he was thinking of killing himself, the therapist decided to contact police. The police came to his house and kicked in his front door. They arrested him and dragged him to a hospital emergency unit, where he was strapped down to a gurney. The shrink on duty recommended that he be transferred to a psych ward for further evaluation. He was placed in a straitjacket and locked up in a state mental hospital, surrounded by violent, drooling retards who would howl like animals all night long. The examining shrink diagnosed him as schizophrenic and recommended immediate forced injections of Haldol and Thorazine.
The more my friend complained about his treatment and the wrongfulness of the diagnosis, the more the shrinks came to believe that he lacked insight into his supposed "illness." In response, they merely increased his dosage of Thorazine. To stop his whining, he would be tossed completely naked into solitary confinement, where he was forced to defecate and urinate in a cardboard box on the floor. He would have to spend hours forced to smell his own shit and piss. When the shrink came to visit him, he would be placed in a full body restraint and held down by a dozen security guards. At this point, he was pumped so full of drugs he could barely walk or talk.
He spent almost a decade of his life having to endure this brutal treatment because some idiot said "Just talk to someone bro." Now he has difficulty brushing his teeth and putting his clothes on in the morning.
If you're smart, you'll avoid therapy at all costs.
