The more I read of psychiatry makes me lean towards the majority of it being pseudoscience. Finances play the most important role in suicidal ideation but nothing is ever done for the people suffering from suicide attempts besides placing them in a facility for an extended period and medicating them. Some of the drugs have even been shown to induce gambling. How in the world does someone escape a life where all the cards are dealt against them is unknown to me. In this world you spend more money when poor to live healthy than if starting out rich and it’s harder to save or increase your holdings while poor. Stress is definitely the deciding factor in if a person can stay happy and happiness is the only factor to really care about; besides physical health but they come hand in hand. I think the field is improving but I have a bias by living in a progressive city where the old beliefs are highly questioned and rarely followed. I think psychiatry will go down in history next to the holocaust. Too many people were ruined compared to being helped.
