My entire mental health sob story, avatar is from art I made, I'm emberinmoss.bsky.social

If mental health matters, then the mental healthcare system needs to practice what they preach instead of just say things to look good for their psas. There's so many homeless people in my town and I easily see myself becoming one at this rate. Do what you can to take care of yourself. Try to avoid shitty drs and therapists. It's not always easy.
Medical profession esp psychiatry sold out since at least 1970s.
Note how the problem is never the regime or social conditions... It is always that persons personal problem
the biggest problem is that the field is dead and super swamped with demand.
Nobody is going into the field, all of the ancient old white men are dying out and leaving the field.
The shitty people remain because if they didn't then literally nobody would be able to get help.
Very much depends on the individual psychologist. When an individual comes to a psychologist with societal problems, the best they can offer is individual solutions, but they don't have to place the blame on the individual. They very often don't, in fact, and most of the psychologists I've had were of the opinion that most of their patients' problems could be solved if society didn't demand "normalcy" from everyone.
For autism specifically this is an easy argument to make too, and there's organisations that advocate for autism acceptance. For paranoid delusions though... I think that has to be managed at the individual level. Not necessarily with meds, maybe therapy and a support structure would be enough. Unless you can find something in modern society that causes paranoid delusions? Then we might be able to fix that.
Yes. I read about that. It feels like we've been left to rot. Maybe we have.
They don't let you quite die if you got any labour that can extracted but after that... Yeah die peasants, you are useless to the owner now
