Psychic dependency

Psychic dependency is the compulsive use of consultations, to the point where the person can no longer make a decision or tolerate uncertainty without consulting. It shows in how often calls are made, in spending that escapes the budget, in the need to ask the same question again and in the feeling of being unable to do without it. It is fueled by per-minute rates, follow-up messages and alarming predictions. Ethical clairvoyance encourages autonomy; when dependency sets in, a health professional can help.
