First of all, You used the word "saved" and bananaface was quoting that, so I'm not sure why you're being so snarky about it.
Secondly, I can attest to the "some people can be saved" claim. When I was 11, I was extremely depressed and suicidal. If it hadn't been for my therapy and medication, I have no doubt that I would've committed suicide. Different psychiatrists and therapists are different, of course, but I never got the impression that my doctor or my therapist were arrogant or trying to play god. I got angry at them sometimes (as one does in therapy), but most of what they did was listen and occasionally sort of poke me in the right direction.
Is it normal I get annoyed when people say "I need professional help?"

I'm 22 now, and doing much better.
