I briefly went to a therapist 30 years ago. Like many people who go, I was worried that they wouldn’t think I was actually depressed and wouldn’t give me anything or do anything for me. I needn’t have worried, as the guy hadn’t listened to me for more than two minutes before he said “we need to get you on Prozac.” He had me meet with their staff psychiatrist who turned out to be a 70-year-old Cuban. This guy just rambled for an hour without ever asking me any questions; at one point he actually said “back in Cuba, we had a lot of problems with the blacks - you call them n*****s here” which was pretty eye-opening (keep in mind this was a counseling service run by the state university I was attending at the time - and this was the 1990s, not the Jim Crow era). After I got my prescription I mentioned this comment to the therapist and he just rolled his eyes. It was obvious that they kept this guy around for his ability to prescribe drugs and for no other reason.
