Psychiatry's trouble is that it tries to treat emotional problems using drugs.
That's also the entire point of psychiatry.
It's in a crisis because "stabilizing" people by numbing their brains does nothing to help them face their problems. A profession of cleaners whose main technique was to sweep everything under the rug would also face crisis at some point.
