Sorry,
I'm not sure I pressed the "submit" button
on my explanation. Basically the idea is that
"recovery" is not in the books in the pro-med
camp; on the contrary, drugs are given indefinitely
and for life because like Kraeplin the theory
is that mental illness gets worse with time.The anti-psychiatry movement has been fighting
this and it's a major bone of contention.Therefore, when the Surgeon General speak of
"recovery" ( and i am not sure what he means )
it is something that perks up one's ears.Squiggles
