MM, GP's don't recomend therapy?!?!

I think one of the biggest problems is that the US has private for profit health care. It is a mess from what I can see. When money is involved so directly how do you trust any of these people to be providing good proper care? Too many conflicts of interest, which also involves big pharma which is a problem here as well. Why did I keep getting offered seroquel no matter how much it did not work for me..

One thing I found disturbing was seeing dx's handed out by therapists. Is that official .. unofficial? Either way I don't think it's a good idea.

The other big problem I see is long term therapy being overused and inappropriatly used. It has it place, and it also has many problems. But I don't see it talked about much.

Things like situational depression.. greiving etc. even physical problems that fail to be dx'd quickly and the new version of the diagnostic manual...will be no shocker to see over dx on the rise.

Along with that you have overprescibed and inappropriatly prescribed medications. And it's just a speading trend in many countries.

And all these problems seem to come right back to the money.
