Do psychologists do more than drag everything out of your closset, then point at you and say what a messy closet you have? Do they actually do any good?

Yes they can help, but a lot of it depends on how good the psychologist or therapist is and how compatible they are with their client. Not all therapist/client relationships work and the person seeking therapy may have to shop around a bit. There are certainly bad psychologists out there, and if they are only critisizing their client then that isn't helpful at all.

Yes, they do actually help and they are just trying to find the reason for your issues so that they can help you better. Without knowing things about you, it is difficult for them to be able to help you so that is why they ask you all sorts of questions, even if they seem silly to you or someone else. The one that I used to see, was very helpful and am now back to my happy and old self again.
