Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli insists he doesn't need a shrink.
FIFPro general secretary Theo Van Seggelen has also said the player needs professional help.
Balotelli disagrees, saying: "A psychologist for me? I believe psychologists are important. Sometimes they can be very useful, but I don't need one of them.
"Every day there is an exaggeration about me and I would like it to stop. I want to be judged for what I do on the field.
"I am a shy and simple guy. I like to have fun with my friends and I always try not to bother anyone."
