Is It True That Therapists Cause More Problems Than They Cure?

Question by Sarah: Is it true that therapists cause more problems than they cure?
Therapists, Pychologists, Psychiatrists, etc I don’t really understand the difference so explain them if you want.

For example drug addiction? Or maybe they’ll make patients believe they have some other mental illeness or something?
