hey, i agree with you. i was just saying that's what i was told. and it is total BS. psychiatry, it seems, wants no one to be "normal". i mean, what is normal anyway? is anyone truly normal? i highly doubt it.
one psychiatrist whom i admire somewhat called most of the US population the "worried well" meaning they aren't really sick, don't need a psychiatrist, and don't need therapy, but rather just a better way to deal with the regular ups and downs of life. he made this point in regards to how the mental health system is clogged up with these "worried well" people and those who are really sick can't get appointments for weeks or months because of it.
i believe that there are some psychiatrists out there who are trying their best to help those that truly need it. but i think the majority of the docs are greedy slime bags, hence why you see all these lawsuits coming down from major drug manufacturers naming all the docs these companies paid off for crap research. as a whole, the US mental health system is fundamentally broken. it needs a major overhaul in my opinion.
