Small mercies, huh.

Anyways, therapists aren't your friends, kids. You shouldn't trust them just because they're therapists.

    Could you explain? I'm legit confused because doctors have the same authority to detain someone on medical/mental grounds. Should you lie to doctors as well?

    What's confusing you?

    When I go to doctors at least, it's because of a physical injury. They're not going to detain me and lock me away because my broken leg is a threat to me.

    Doctors have the same authority as therapists to detain people if they believe they are a danger to themselves. I get what you are saying though.

    Statistically, depressed people who see mental health professionals have better overall happiness and lower suicidality than people who do not.

    I guess I'm kinda sad, which is why I feel defensive about this. I apologize if it came off as abrasive earlier. Lol also I got like 2 hours of sleep last night bc my gf's dog is probably dying and needed to go to the vet. It's been a day.

    Could you explain what you are worried about? Like, just because they have the authority to detain you, are you afraid they absolutely will if they have the chance?
