The mental health system is objectively abhorrent. So much so that there are no vocal proponents of the current model, only backdoor shills with vested interests in the prison complex. It's actually quite a simple dynamic.

TEDx xontinues to disappoint with it's continuous bullshit.

Right, established institutes have no reason nor have ever participated in blatent lies, oh wait......

83,000 Brain scans + 30 years of practical experience = actual evidence

American Psychiatric association = "there's no evidence we should stop issuing trillion of dollars in drugs and continue to throw darts blindfolded."

Welcome to the today's propaganda for the Zombies.

As you should be.
The psychological paradigm relies heavily on learned/conditioned response research
but does not address or treat via non associative factors
like diet & physical exertion that may be playing a bigger role in most mental health issues.




The medication is being used because it can get patients out of dangerous & paranoid states of perceiving.

well wacko, where did I or anyone say Doctors should stop using medication, Brain scans are just another useful tool at their disposal to make a proper diagnosis and administer effective treatment therapies as opposed to using meds alone and sheer guesswork as many do.

For you to not acknowledge this reality is like the American Construction Association say that there no evidence suggesting that screwdrivers help construction. You need better tools, not just that hammer, or simply just that outdated book on whatever archaic crap you learned.

I never implied that you did
Before any diagnosis (America), doctor is required to rule out other
medical conditions like physical trauma. Most doctors favor
a multi-method approach when treating. CT,MRI & FMRI scans
are already used as diagnostic aid & CT/MRI have been used
for a long time.

Most Doctors? -

Don't break your arm trying to jerk yourself off with that fantasy.

Maybe Medical Doctors use that approach, but you'll be hard pressed to find a Psychologist who does.

Yes,
most doctors treating mental health issues (America) favor a multi-method approach
because the research supports such.
- Positive psychotherapy, CBT, behavioral therapy, drug therapy, talk therapy,
art therapy & meditation are commonly combined in outpatient programs.

While only anecdotal: I know the psychiatric hospital where a family member works requires that all patients be screen by a 'normal hospital/doctor' before they can be admitted to try to ensure their problems aren't stemming from some physical condition that would be better treated by a 'regular doctor'. I'm sorry if I'm using inappropriate terminology; as I don't know what the proper terminology is.
