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.
