When I sought help for crippling invasive thoughts, I was told I had a disease like any other. But I wasn’t able to recover until I understood the fallacy at the heart of mental healthcare
I’m glad you took the time to respond, even if I’m not sure how many dive into these comments.
I agree completely with you. I read the article and thought, I really don’t think anyone in healthcare really truly thinks the diagnoses are simple illnesses with an organic cause anymore. But the frameworks are helpful to direct what treatment options we have/as guidelines.
I find patients themselves want a name for what they’re experiencing, even if it is an approximation of what’s going on with them.
But at the end of the day, it’s no surprise people are depressed, anxious, etc when there are so many fundamentally broken things in the world.
