I've worked with psychiatrists who were so bad that they made me suicidal.

medical professionals aren't interested in helping people. They are slaves to liability and insurance and place profits above the well being of their patients.

Those kind of psychiatrists probably wouldn't be willing to sit for someone going through psychedelic therapy, and them being licensed is an issue entirely orthogonal to how psychedelics amplify emotions

Just because some medical professionals suck, that doesn't make it safe to use psychedelics when depressed without someone who knows what they're doing with you. "Knows what they're doing" includes knowing how to handle suicidal individuals.
