A therapist's note might not be sufficient if they're not a medical doctor or other professional who can diagnose. Check the details.

No even a pcp note would suffice?

Primary care or psychiatrist would be fine. Check your plan’s rules on therapist vs MD on this.

Thank you all

Anyone else sick of equity partners constantly telling their practice groups that the market is cooling off and everyone should step it up?

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married).

Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

Are all MLMs really evil? Obviously the ones like Luluroe and such that you have to buy $$$ merch up front. But are there any that actually work well? I have friends who sell Amway (which I thought was evil), but they legitimately love what they do. And they're not -terribly- sales pushy like other people I've met. Curious if the MLM industry is shifting.

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad
