Question by jackie: Can you sue your therapist ?
I was a troubled teenager and I had a therapist who was very condescending towards me.

He took all my money – prescribed me all the wrong medications that would knock me out and …due to an ‘incident’ involving a fight with .my mother – he put me in a “treatment center” – with the explanation ” You are sick”

After I came out of the hospital – I dropped out of high school – missed too many days and I felt I can never resume a normal teeange life again.

Now as an adult – I haven’t improved much mentally …having a full productive life is a bit hard for me.

I saw “In Treatment” on HBO – and I feel that my therapist d misdiagnosed and abused me with powerful medications that weren’t right for me. His ‘hospitalization” detoured my life in a severe way.

After I got out of the hospital – I moved on the a different doctor.

Do I have a case ?
