[QUOTE="klmno, post: 373938, member: 3699"] in my humble opinion, tdocs and those in authority of MH profs just aren't what they used to be. It really seems to have turned into a field that almost anyone can get into (and does) expecting to get treated like other licensed profs yet not having half the accountability or responsibility as any other licensed prof as required by their board or authority. I have no pity on them at all for not getting paid more. The ones who are really good are specialized and usually picked pretty quickly to be in places like children's hospitals, VA, etc, and they get paid very well and I have no problem with that. But the majority of the prof isn;t worth their salt- they are the ones acting like trained Pavlow's dogs trying to push an agenda. Maybe the people listing criteria for the dsm diagnosis's feel like if they don't spell out depressive signs, tdocs won't even notice them. OK, I'm saying that mean-spirited. I don't agree with going that far with the diagnosis either. They should stop and think sometimes about the repurcussions of throwing out a diagnosis for every little thing. [/QUOTE]
