Do psychiatrists not like smart people?
This question is mainly relevant to the UK/Ireland.
I have been in the mental health system a good while now and I am beginning to notice the shrinks that I deal with most certainly do not like me in the lest.
I am not regarded as a arrogant pain in the neck by people who know me. Most people who know me say I am a nice quiet introvert kind of guy, but the shrinks!

Any others out their found themselves in the same boat.
Thanks in advance.
