just to remind why clinical psychiatrists :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_and_licensing_of_clinical_psychologists
These people's training is intense : 4 years to graduate,
then 4/6 years postgrad. So they are no-nonsense people
who know their job very well.
A bit like the "surgeons" of the mind.
So that lunatics and our "clowns" know that there are very well
qualified people who will work and help them with their fear of being laughted at.

.
Funnily enough, I simply can't help laughing when I discussed with a friend and explained I was looking into people who have fear of being laughed at.
friend :"Are you serious ? are you telling me some people are scarred of being laughed at?"
me : - with a smile "yes I assure you!"
friend : " that's the joke of the month!"
me : - "no no no. This is no laughing matter.
You know the clowns and lunatics , apparently the
hindi-paki-aran one has this disease"
friend : "hey? "
me - now laughing widely - "yes indeed. Now apparently
he was properly humiliated, ridiculed and laughted
at when a child. So this is why the hindi-paki-aran
have zero self-control, and always seek situations and
people who can humiliate him properly. Humiliate and ridicule
him with maximum laughter. That's what he loves."
friend " Oh Now I understand better! No wonder he
can't get enough of the gal! hahahahahaha.
that's amazing. But why doesn't he just go and get cured
by a psy ? "
me : " fear of being laughed at !"
friend - huge laugh " hahahahah I understand.
!!!! "
Fear of being laughed at prevents the lunatic to go and
see a well qualified clinical psychologist. LOL.
hahahahahahah
