Quote by Muriel Spark

One should only see a psychiatrist out of boredom.

One should only see a psychiatrist out of boredom.

Summary

This quote suggests that seeking the help of a psychiatrist is unnecessary and should only be pursued when someone has nothing else to do or feels bored. It implies a dismissive attitude towards mental health professionals and implies that mental health concerns are not serious or worthy of attention unless one has run out of other things to occupy their time. This perspective undermines the importance of mental well-being and the value of seeking professional help when needed.
