Lack of psychologists is the cause of increasing untreated medical health problems in the exact way a lack of doctors leads to an increase in untreated illness.
And given how many older adults have untreated mental health issues and just lived with them the work won't be wasted on a fly-by-night increase.
- _aavaa_ 3y agoI completely agree with you. My point was that the discussion is often framed such that lack of psychologists is causing a mental health crisis. Their shortage may be making it worse since people cannot be treater after they have issues, but it isn't causing the issue in the first place.
