Não, mentiroso. Se você não parar com isso, eles vão lhe mandar para um psiquiatra. Para onde você pensa que vão lhe mandar se você não começar a falar?

"Shrink" a good way to avoid the dilemma when referring to one of them: a psychotherapist, psychiatrist or psychologist.

The slang word is short for "headshrinker" with the same meaning. In America they use the law of the least effort in language, so "shrink" got in use. It debuted in the Time magazine, in 1950, and catched on with some articles about the headshrinkers (the Jivaro People - a Tribe in the Ecuadoran and Peruvian Amazon). They crushed the skull of their enemies.

No similarity with psychiatrists of today, though. :-)
