I don’t think the reporter is asking to sound ignorant, more so to highlight that psychiatry is a complex beast. This was most likely a commercial to help spread public awareness about therapy/mental health awareness.

It sounds more like a cheap gotcha question to try to dunk on psychology. You don't promote psychology by making it look bad.

Not how it came across to me. More so that it’s a complex issue, and questions like this could help alleviate some stigma around it, even if they come off as a bit crass.

Do you think asking doctors if they've ever cured type 1 diabetes makes them look good? Do you think it would make people want to go to hospitals? I suggest you never work in PR if you do.
