RE: Psychiatry is Practicing Outdated, Fake Medicine

in #psychology7 years ago

While it have become popular to slander psychiatry for broader societal problems (or the inability to simply just "fix everything"). To me this is just as much of a cultural problem that a problem relating to psychiatry at large. In scandinavia we don't tend to fill people up with pills for no good reason and diagnosis have been discussed a great deal the last couple of years. It is so incredibly easy to just point at something and go "there is the problem". However a bit broader perspective comes a long way to actually fixing the issue - in this case it might be worth looking at the whole American model - hardcore capitalisme, and how this might not be a good option for the individual in the first place. Okay, well that is a bit much to fix at once - maybe we should start a bit smaller, maybe ask, should the health industry even be a industri? It seems a lot more expensive and ineffective compared to other countries with a more social approach.
