So either people are more and more fucked up these days because they all have to see therapists or therapists are more and more fucked up these days because they convince people that they all have problems they can't solve for themselves.
I just can't figure which is true.

I believe that it's both, in a sort of cycle.
Therapists tell people they're fucked up for even minor problems, which causes these people whine to their buddies about their problems, which, usually being quite broad, makes the friends wonder if
they're fucked up. This then may cause one of them to go see a shrink, who then decides that he (the shrink) could use a couple extra patients and so he writes up a few perscriptions which in turn fucks up the patient because he feels like he
should be fucked up. Then the new supposed basket case goes and whines to other friends...etc.
I don't know how much sense that makes, I'm no psycologist or anything, but it seems to me to be one big circle. Not to mention that certain clichs (sp?) seem to think that being insane is cool. We all got emotional baggage, but rather than teaching us how to deal with it ourselves, perhaps with a little help from friends or a psycologist, they're telling us to turn to drugs.
