I hear you m_e. So it seems like to me that the problem lies with the institutionalized mental health regime. They have all been doing the same thing the same way for so long that they don't know any better. The shrinks have shrunk into a tight little ball and they all behave the same way and they all support each other by sticking to a strict modus operandi. What we need is some pdocs who are willing to be different, to try different meds, to try different treatments; but if one pdoc sticks his neck out and comes unstuck as a result his colleagues will all say 'that's what happens when you stray off the beaten track'.
Shrinks should listen to their patients more and to their colleagues less. We need pdocs who look outwards, who stretch the boundaries of mental health but unfortunately there are too many of them who constantly look over their shoulders to see if they have the approval of their colleagues. What we need is pdocs who dare to be different.
