#bad practice

this is not a proof, this is a barrage of out-of-context citations. if you have a source, you should write a short clear description of what each source shows, and also discuss the limitations of it.

Can I say, the US approach to mental health sucks, so so much. I’ve been going through crap, maybe for awhile now, and getting help is so much awful. No one actually wants to help, they just to medicate and send me on my way.

And the one who wants to drug me up--didn’t even bother to look in my file. She complained for forty minutes that I was late to the meeting (I was, that was on me) and then complained even more because she thought I didn’t fill out this one form. I had. She hadn’t bothered to check. But I’m supposed to take medication from this person? You can’t be bothered to look in my file, you can’t be bothered to listen to some of my issues, but somehow feel confident you know my medication needs?

And then my therapist...I tell her how I feel, how anxious and frustrated I am about certain things. Her response? “Well, it sounds like you’re frustrated. Let’s send you right back into the situation that caused all the problems in the first place.”

There’s a reason we’re all crazy. Because even one asks for help, it is never given. It’s all take this pill and go away.
