Thought provoking.

Somewhat of a history of how we handle (mishandle?) mental illness: diagnosis/ treatment, treating the patient vs the illness. The framework of this telling is through a few individual stories.

I found myself contemplating the balance of medication vs therapy and how it must be so hard to find that balance. I found myself, yet again, wondering about the importance of accessibility to mental healthcare. I assume we probably have a lot of both under-diagnosed and over-medicated humans and I wouldn’t be surprised if that line ran alongside income.
