Seeking help is often a sign of mental health. False Most are not, but it can depend upon your definition. Most therapists are healthy and well-trained individuals, women and men of good will with good intentions, who have your best interests at heart.

False Dr. Laura is not a psychotherapist. However, she fills an aching void among people who want to believe that she is an expert who can solve their every problem. She temporarily placates troubled souls as she serves up her quick fixes. Complex problems are solved in seconds. Although she professes to deplore all forms of instant gratification, ironically that is what she provides.
