Our Mental Health Crisis
Personally, I have exactly zero doubts that America has a mental health crisis. However, I sincerely believe that the nature of that crisis is different from what the mainstream media consumers think it is. I don’t believe that the crisis isn’t a lack of mental health care; I think it’s poor, cheap, and dangerously poorly considered mental health “care.”
Cue the Democrat outrage! RFK Jr. recently said essentially the same thing, and we all know that will set off these filth.
Our mental health system is predicated almost solely upon prescribing various psychotropic pharmaceuticals, many of which have serious negative side effects in statistically small numbers of people. But, with approximately 41 million people on these drugs, a statistically small number of them – 1/10,000, for example – is still 4100 people at any given time who have become a greater risk to themselves and/or others solely or primarily from taking those medications.
Yeah, I firmly believe that our mental health crisis is overdiagnosis of certain “mental disorders,” getting them on serious medications, and providing no real care beyond that. And, all that while claiming that not enough people are being “treated.”
