A therapist will only make suggestions. They don't diagnose. That's the psychiatrist's job - to diagnose and prescribe medication.

My son refuses to see a psychiatrist because he refuses to take any meds for fear they will diminish his creative spark.

He has been to a therapist a few times and he enjoyed the experience becasue it allowed him to just talk and get his internal feelings out.

You should go at least once. If you don't dig the experience you don't have to go back. But who knows, it may be helpful (and relieving) to be able to vent to a semi-pro. Maybe you'll walk away with some valuable insight.

Do it man.

And JWB - have you considered that you may have a bit of Aspergers?

I have a buddy who was fine all through childhood but started having some social communication problems from his late teens onward. He was diagnosed with very slight Aspergers.
