You may be Pyschic, not mentally ill.

Just spotted this story today, why we should be worried about things like this should be obvious:

Quote:

Quebec's Order of Psychologists has suspended a psychologist for three months for telling patients he saw to see a psychic medium.

...

Allaire was providing therapy for a 13-year-old girl who was suicidal. She was living in a group home in when her psychiatrist recommended she enter therapy.


A year after starting therapy, she started hearing voices and having hallucinations.


According to the Order of Psychologists discipline committee, when he learned of her symptoms, Allaire told her she might have a "gift" and not to tell her psychiatrist.

The above took place in 2012 and it was not the only patient this individual told that they should see if they were psychic rather than mentally ill.

The cause for harm is obvious.
