There is still almost no science behind it and the majority of pscyhiatrists and nurses, GPs too, routinely misdiagnose people.
A lot of people who are considered mentally ill actually have progressive diseases.
Where are the scientific tests? People visit a psychiatrist and they do not have their brain scanned.
Surely we should be developing psychiatry into a more robust, technically precise science in the same way we progressed physical healthcare from prescribing herbs to the array of devices used today.
The problem is that the general philosophy is 'stop loss'.
It's about avoiding harm, rather than bettering one's life.
The media have our health service at their mercy. One mistake, and BOOM! It's all over the news.
Our society is reactive, rather than proactive.
What you stated is very wise. We live in a society that is unhealthily politically correct and risk averse to the point that actually the system is rubbish sometimes because it takes a sledgehammer to a ltittle nut in its way of dealing with problems.
