To makesher,

I’ve spoken to many shrinks and one of the main things of therapy is an end goal. So how come people go to shrinks for years and years? The answer is because somehow they were pushed or forced there. So they can’t ever be cured -until they themselves realize that they have problematic behavior(s). So either the shrink keeps trying to enlighten them or he/she gives up.

The reason a person should keep it quiet is because it’s still a stigma in our community and there is a chance someone will speak bad about him. I’m Iy”h waiting for the day when there won’t be anymore L”H or Sinas Chinum and our community won’t stigmitize mentally ill people. So if the yeshivos would start such a program, this would help towards that goal!
