The Doctor

In chapter 10 Esther asks the family doctor Teresa for me sleeping pills and then she recommends a psychiatrist to her. She goes to see this psychiatrist, Dr. Gordon, and hates him immediately. She thinks he is conceited and just likes to show off his perfect beautiful family. She doesn't like the doctor at all because she doesn't think he takes her seriously and he wants to give her shock treatment at one of his hospitals. In her second meeting with him she brings a letter to him that she tried to write to Doreen but her hand writing wasn't legible so she ripped it up. She thinks about running away to Chicago but realizes the bank will close before she can withdrawal any money. She decides to stop seeing the doctor after the shock treatment because of how crappy she feels. I think the doctor is hurting her because she still feels the same and then after the shock treatment she feels even worse. But she starts thinking about suicide and if it would matter if she were dead or not because she practically feels like it anyways. So i think she definitely needs some kind of help.
