psychiatry isn't really about...you know...curing mental illness, especially severe mental illness. People w/ SMI tend to be poor and/or unemployed, economically un or under-productive. Read: we don't matter.

I do think Big Pharma has influence, but I mean...even in the 70s-80s, 90s, when most drugs for SMI were off patent and old, docs still weren't all that interested in anything particularly innovative.

As I see it, the problem is that madness is real, but psychiatry has never been about addressing it. Psychiatry is the practice of upper class people--mostly men--controlling and labeling and defining less important people--often women, minorities, the poor--and keeping us down. Yes, I said it: psychiatry is all about oppression, at least it is once you go off the rails, anyway.

So, yeah. I don't think mainstream psychiatry will ever look at this seriously. Mainstream psychiatry has yet to cure anyone of anything, because that's not what psychiatry was created for.
