How fucked up are you when you're projecting you own mental health issues onto animals?

Is that like non-munchausen munchausen syndrome by proxy??


Notice that she uses PhD in her profile. She's probably like 90% of the head shrinkers out there and got into psychology to self-diagnose.

ETA: Ahhhh--I don't do Twitter and didn't realize that she's just trolling. I guess I've seen too many fucked up posts for something that ridiculous to automatically trigger my 'bullshit' response anymore.

A PhD is not a Shrink
  • A PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is a doctoral research degree and the highest level of academic qualification you can achieve.
  • A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry, the branch of medicine devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, study, and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are physicians and evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness,

Right. A Psychiatrist has an MD and can prescribe drugs. The others cannot.
 
A psychiatrist can lock you up against your will.
A psychologist (in AZ) can prescribe drugs, but NOT lock you up.

Interesting... Do the psychologists in AZ get DEA #'s so they can write prescriptions, independently? Where I used to live, only licensed MD, DDS, DMD, etc. can obtain a DEA# and write scripts that would be honored by a pharmacy.

I guess there are lots of caveats before a psychologist can issue in AZ. I thought it was all, but it's not. They must have additional stuff.
