When I see the crack-pot advice given to friends and family who visit these "professionals" I really worry about their patients. These people have the ability to suspend my rights (at least on a temporary basis) and I will NOT hand the keys to my freedom to some kid who skated his/her way through college on his/her parent's dime and does not understand what it's like to be in my situation.
5. My morals aren't as big a concern here. In my line of work I am personally liable for any infractions of the law, up to $1000.00 per infraction. I commit 100-200 of these infractions daily by order of management.

Again, and with all due respect, I'm hearing a lot of excuses here. Yes, there are quacks, but you aren't in it for the advice. you are in it to get your hormones and chemicals back in balance - that what the (for example) Wellbutrin is for. I have known two chronically depressed people in life. Both said "It won't work for me" or "I've tried that, it doesn't work". Blah, blah, blah. Both medicated in less productive ways, and both are now dead. Don't deny yourself the help you (may) need over some misplaced principle.
If it is a taxation infraction (rather than a health/safety one), I would turn them in to the IRS. There is HUGE money in IRS whistle blowing...
