Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
There are many problems with modern medicine and study of our brain and behavior today where we treat the symptoms and not the cause. Where we suggest normal parts of human experience such as loneliness, grief, disappointment and sadness are reclassified as mental disordered if they affect someone too deeply or for too long. Where once we locked up patients for years and subjected them to testing rigorously, now we proscribe medication and give them a category to define themselves or their illness by with a hands-off approach to underlying causes. Where one in four women report being 'on psych meds' In other words, we poorly attempted to find causes before so now expertly give labels and categories of symptoms without looking and contextualizing the conditions in which the disorder developed.
Is this quick system helping or harming greater society and the individuals looking for a cure? Is there a simple catch-all to try first, a method of sorting easy answers and suggesting correctly of which to look deeper on? Do we simply have no answer to this issue but to either lock them all up or medicate them all?
