I have never thought any of my physical issues were a result of that organ's functioning alone. They have no clue what causes high blood pressure, hypothyroid, my asthma, etc. If I had not figured out their lopsided use of antibiotics, I'd be dead now and I'm quite sure their antibiotic use in my gut triggered my asthma/lung difficulties now. . .

I don't think mental health practitioners are any less ignorant and unhelpful than physical health practitioners, they are just made more aware of their ignorance. I go to my physical health doctor every 4 months and he has not helped me in the 7-8 years I've been seeing him, just maintained the status quo; my mental health practitioner did help me in that period of time?
