Responsibility of mental health field
When an individual experiences a medical crisis, they often feel discredited, leaving no one to advocate for them within the menttal health system. If you disagree with me, I encourage you to experience a psychiatric hold firsthand and see how it feels like an illegal treatment of a human being, regardless of their health condition.
There seems to be a significant lack of accountability among those in the field of psychiatry. They often present themselves as helpful and selfless, but the reality is that they get paid because patients are sick and under their care. The quality of this care can be questionable, offering little hope for those diagnosed with serious, incurable mental health conditions.
Instead of providing real solutions, these professionals frequently prescribe medication aggressively, even when it does not guarantee a cure. This approach ties patients to a system of medical dependency until they no longer exist. What happens if you sop taking the prescribed medications? Your body and mind may have been permanently altered by the chemical changes.
The hospitals also impose time limits for making claims or filing charges against them, which further demonstrates their tndency to hide behind healthcare laws rather than address patient dissatisfaction.

I found this information on Wikipedia abt an experiment where people signed up to get evaluated at different mental health clinics. They pretended to have hallucinations so they would be admitted. Once inside, though, they acted like regular patients. Each participant was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder and given antipsychotic medication.
i was thinking about that too, and i guess it seems like covid really highlighted some issues with how the medical system operates. maybe there's too much pressure on people to get these new vaccines which are still experimental,and the pharmaceutical companies might be benefiting a lot from that. but it alo feels like they could focus more on treatment options and prevention through things like vitamins and supplements instead.
My mom passed away last year right after gettnig her COVID-19 booster, she was only 75. She ended up with a rare autoimmune disease that's basically incurable, and there wasn't anything we could do to save her. I kind of lost faith in the medcial industry at that point-it feels like it's all about greed rather than taking care of people. Patients end up sick, broke, and broken in the end.
