Counsellors and psychiatrists may have some negative effects from their practice. But I wonder whether it can be so high to affect 70% of practitioners. This is because some bad karmic forces of the patient will affect the practitioner. But there are solutions. Following ethics of the carrier and by making yourself strong with meritorious deeds such as meditation, generosity, Homage to Buddha etc.

Or worse, the psychiatrist/psychologist is himself, possessed!

70% of psychiatrists suffer from mental illness? I am amazed that nobody has asked for the source of these stats.

Very interesting statistics. I talk to a lot of psychiatric professionals in my field and I never thought that percentage would be that high. Our profession could be very stressful because human mind is a huge mystery. A lot of times we experience unpredictable outcomes that we can’t control. That could be a contributing factor.

Spiritual practice if done on routine daily basis, can help us avoid the possibility of getting attacked by negative energies.
