Working With Children With Troubles?
Question by Cassi(!): Working with children with troubles?
I’m in high school, but I’m trying to look into careers.
One thing I’ve noticed I’ve always loved is helping people. ‘Specially people who’re troubled (Cancer patients, abused, neglected, down syndrome, ect.) Ick- that sounds awful, but I mean it with absolute kindness. I’ve suffered through eating disorders and abuse in my lifetime, and I would love to be able to help people with things I’ve gone through- because I look back and I wish i had someone to help me with my problems. Mainly I want to help kids and elderly- but adults as well.
So what would you consider the “dream job” for me?
Thank you! (:

Why Are Alcohol Classes and Detox Centers So Expensive?
Question by gary: Why are alcohol classes and detox centers so expensive?
Seems like a monopoly of “health services” by the government. An alcohol class can cost around $ 200 and a night at a detox center is $ 495. A detox center is usually just a terrible hotel like place with no actual medical help. What are the cost paying for with these ‘services’?

Can You Sue Your Therapist ?
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.
