Question:
Anybody wonder why with hundreds of antidepressants, mood stabilizers, sedatives, antipsychotics, etc., there are so many mental patients that do not get well? Other than the hysterical anti-psychiatry propaganda, can anyone think of some other possible "reasons"?

Answer:
1. Difficulty in recognizing the you have a mental problem that requires medical treatment. 2. Difficulty finding a doctor who is competent to treat it. 3. Difficulty finding the right medication, when on average the probability of a particular medication helping to a useful extent is about 33% 4. Difficulty coping with unpleasant side effects. 5. The reality that there are some people for whom none of the existing medications help much. Those are sensible reasons; 3. is surprising if indeed, true. Unlike other illnesses, mental illness is particularly hard to treat successfully. I was wondering if there is an anti-psychiatry attitude among some medical professionals that sabotage the treatment. It's not the kind of thing that the APA would do statistical studies on, but it may account for a lot of failures. When a baby is born, the first thing we do is look to see if they have all of its parts. It is a very complex process. It takes years to see how a child will develop, and with the complications of life, I am continuously amazed when a child turns out "right." Conversely, it is much more difficult to "count" the mental parts.. Again, it takes years to see how we develop. To continue the analogy, from a engineering design viewpoint, I am amazed that most of us are within a reasonable range. I do not consider myself a anti-medical professional. I do think, however, that many people who pursue psychiatry as a profession are there to quite their own demons. Most are arrogant. Most (if not all) are trained in medical schools where the emphasis is upon which drug to prescribe.
