Bad Therapy

Upon his son's return from a sleepaway camp, the author's son complained of a stomachache, leading to a medical examination that ruled out appendicitis. 

However, the doctor requested privacy for a mental health screening, a request aligned with the intentions of a nurse from the National Institute of Mental Health. 

This incident left the author troubled, pondering whether a more trusting approach could have prevented the separation of the child from his parents.
 
The author contemplates the escalating anxiety and fixation parents exhibit concerning their children's mental well-being, allowing mental health professionals to exclude them from crucial discussions.
