The quality of psychiatric care, in general, is abysmal. There's a ton of poorly-competent therapists.
SO when someone has autism or ADD or depression or these other disorders that make it really difficult to reach out to get help, and then that one person does reach out and gets shit for help, well, then how do you not give up?
The behavior health system is stacked against the most vulnerable.
And nobody cares enough. All those doctors that dismissed this woman again and again need to be publicly taken to task for their lack of professionalism and lack of giving a shit (which IMO goes right against the Hippocratic Oath).
- comrh 11y agoThis is so true. It isn't just access, it's that what you get is usually bad. My experience is if you're stuck using insurance usually you can give up hope of finding someone under 50 who actually gives a crap.
- isatis 11y agoIt is definitely a general problem, and from personal experience I've gone through so many therapists this year it's not even funny. I've even had a therapist put me down, and for awhile I was wondering whether to off myself because I couldn't get good help. Whether I'm in the DC area and looking or in the Bay Area and looking, and I feel like giving up on a search most days because nobody knows how to properly treat those of us who are on the autism spectrum.
