Listening to these "professionals" leads me once again to the thought that they have no real idea what "mental illness" is. They see it from the outside, and have not the kinds of insight that could guide their thinking. We have not advanced from Freud, who had the same criticism of psychiatry that I have also: they really have no clue what "mental illness" is or what causes it. They are still going around in circles looking for the magic cure.
