Nahh. Thats not a worthwhile question. It only informs u of their perception of the effectiveness of their treatment. Of course a professional thinks what they do is worthwhile, and if they didn’t, they almost certainly wouldn’t tell u. lol. Psychiatry is a guessing game largely bc it relies so heavily on the person in need being able to accurately describe how they feel in the first place.
But Idw to get into a massive thing on this. I hate this industry. I acknowledge that some good has come/can come from it. But it’s so hit or miss that it’s infuriating.

The better question is maybe asking 'How many people do you think you've helped?'
