I spend a short time this morning searching for suicidal humor.. Yes, I know..sick, huh? I'm weird that way..
Anyways..
I ran across what someone likes to call "Mental Health Humor" and it hit me.. This is why "mental health" just doesn't work.. The people who work in the field are plain nuttier than the people they think they're helping..
Check it out and if you actually find yourself laughing at it then you might be in need of a "mental health professional"..
The scary part for me was that it took me 4 tries to get the image to work right.. I have a hunch that a ""mental health professional" would only leave me in a catatonic state making weird noises rapidly rubbing my finger up and down over my lips while humming.

Something else that struck me was that the reason mental health doesn't work is the same reason most drug counseling doesn't work.. Nearly everyone I've ever meet who has at any time ever seen a shrink will at some point say, "I want to earn my degree so I can counsel people like me."
No wonder shrinks have one of the highest suicide rates.. WELL DUH! The lunatics run the asylums..

Social work? I guess in EyeScream terms, that means a career murder death kill rampage?

Be careful there.. Social work these days equals socialism equals liberalism equals the death of "democracy"... We can't have that now can we?
When was the last time you heard some John Birch Society type conservative Flea Bagger say something like, "I wanna earn my degree in social work so I can help the poor, heal the sick and do good for people."?... Uhhhhhh.....NEVER! :
