Ref. psychotherapy

My experience is Burmese and most people fear or do not understand modern psychotherapy, whereas it can be very helpful. There are LOTS of people, male and female, walking around who are self-medicating with sex, alcohol, guns, power, you name it, and who apparently think asking for help is "weak" "crazy" or shameful. You need to talk to someone,and better to talk to a trained psychiatrist than a quack doctor or Burmese astrologer. If you are an artist or a writer, you have "safety valves" but even then, in some cases you may need medication. So take my advice, get help, Lassie. Or Laddie, as the case may be. Before you kill yourself, someone you love or dozens of strangers. K. M. Kaung (Ph.D.) my Ph.D. is on Political Economy, but as a refugee, I have first hand knowledge of need for someone to talk to.
