The Problem is not the abundance of pills...
I have witnessed Psychiatry in both Germany and the US.
I would say i am better of here in Germany because i have health insurance. Also i am in a rehab place and i don't know if places like this exist in the US. I am kept here over a year and its all in all pretty good care. Care that is designed to get me back on my own two feet. We do all the stuff ourselves. Like housework, sorting medications, food etc.
Its a difficult topic. I wouldn't say that there is less stigma in Germany. There is more stigma, but also more social support. In the US you will see everyone talking about their diagnosis and all that and you hear it all the time. At least in Cali. But the support is lacking
