what are the biggest problems with the mental health system:
* suedo scientific diagnosis
* suedo legal tribunals
* quasi scientific drug research with drug companies controlling the data, the studies the academics and the politics
* poor drug approval policies
* inability to sue the state for malpractice due to sequestration of medical records
* and treatment regimes that start with the most damaging treatments available rather than the least damaging.exactly which of the glaringly obvious problems in the mental health system did the reforms address?
