@Allicrombie: Could and should. I think jobs in the medical field are the shittiest for sexual harassment. When you hold someone's health in your hands, be it mental or physical (but especially mental) you have to be a really crappy person to take advantage of your position in such a way.

As a physical therapist I always make double sure I don't say anything ambiguous or touch my patients in a way that they might doubt whether it was a professional touch or not (although every now and then every therapist gets that patient where you tell them to roll up their sleeve so you can massage their wrist and when you return to the room they're fully naked). I can't even imagine asking one of my patients for a coffee let alone ask a patient that is not in possession of all their mental faculties if they want to go back to my place...it's just disgusting...

@Allicrombie: Yeah, that seems the way to go if you do need medication; start with a low dosage and up it if needed. Mine started with close to the max recommended dosage and I felt like I was trying to process through my issues and the medication wasn't letting me. Then again, I think I got the worst the world of psychiatrists had to offer. After a while of taking the medication and complaining to her that it was too strong she asked me if I was feeling any other side effects like sexual performance problems, I said no, she asked if I was sexually active at the time, I said no, she suggested sexual intimacy might help "taking the edge off" (at which point I was starting to feel highly uncomfortable with where this was going)...when she asked if I wanted to "maybe get together later" I got up, told her where she could shove her therapy and never went back. My thinking is that she would drown her patients' mind with ridiculously high dosages and then use her position to get some. Who needs rape drugs when you're a psychiatrist? Probably should have sued her but I had so many problems at that time and didn't want to add more (probably the reason why she was comfortable risking such proposals).

Pretty much this. Also, depending on what your problems are, you might want to try and avoid the "Psychiatrists are better than psychologists because they can prescribe medication" mentality. From the cases I have knowledge of a lot of psychiatrists are way too quick to prescribe medication and in some cases the strength and dosage of said medication is just crazy. If you think that you mainly need to talk to somebody and together find solutions to your problems maybe a psychologist is better suited for you, instead of a psychiatrist who might act the way @CountBleck12 described.

I do have to admit I might be a bit bias, because as a personal experience I went to a psychiatrist once due to my extreme OCD and it did not work for me. She just prescribed medication after medication until I felt like a drooling mess incapable of thinking and when I told her I wanted to ease off on medication she upped the dosage (which reminds me, if you get medication prescribed to you, don't take anything you're not comfortable with). Sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself here =P Anyway, due to other problems with her, I stopped going and ended up solving my OCD on my own. On the other hand I did accompany a family member to a psychologist and I was a lot more pleased with the way things went and it actually helped her (the person I was accompanying)

In general, Presidents have little influence over the economy.

Easily one of the worst I can remember, which is funny because 2013 was easily one of the best.
