I could hear my heart thumping as I walked in.

In recent years there have been many reports of a growing impatience with psychiatry, with its seeming foreverness, its high cost, its debatable results, and its vague, esoteric terms. To many people it is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn’t there. The magazines and mental health associations say psychiatric treatment is a good thing, but in my opinion what it is or what it accomplishes has not been made clear.

 

F. (   )   Even mental health associations haven’t been able to demonstrate the value of psychiatry.

G. (   )  The author believes that psychiatry is of no value.

H. (   )  Many people doubt the value of psychiatry.

I.   (   )  In recent years psychiatry has begun to serve the needs of blind people.

J.   (   )  Only magazines and mental health associations believe that psychiatry is a good thing.
