The medical community is pretty clueless with some things--as they puff their chest and act authoritative. Mental healthcare reminds me of 1500s dentistry right now. There are some successes here and there but mostly dangerous and a waste of money.
Try getting a bi-polar teenager to cooperate with treatment. Bonus points if you have a barely competent healthcare professional.
- roydivision 4y agoCame to say similar. Current mental health medicine is about on par with middle ages' level approaches to heart problems. Add to this society's failure to seriously address mental health problems, and their continued stigmatization. Plus, the attack from media, both social and other, we're not altogether in a great place. We could be doing better.
