I'm with you, Jenny. Have seen, heard and experienced a lot of dysfunction in the field of mental health. It's now an industry that generates huge amounts of $$$ again, for guess who?? The narrative of ' chemical imbalance ' for depression was concocted by big pharma to sell more antidepressants. Mind you, with the additives to food, lack of good dietary habits, stress, and all the other additions to modern life, there might be a case for it, but it's not measurable by blood tests. There is a culture of victim-hood, people not wanting to take responsibility for poor choices, learned helplessness and hopelessness and quick fixes. Very few people want to do the hard yards. I know my view will be unpopular and politically incorrect. I have been a therapist for over 30 years. Few people want to be told the truth in love.
