The reason mental healthcare is so harmful and unhelpful is that it treats behavior rather than feelings or real problems. It only pretends to address those things. They try to gain your trust so that you will talk about your pain and your most vulnerable thoughts. Then they frame you, weaponize anything that gives them leverage and leave out anything that adds nuance. They throw you into treatment models and manipulate you. That manipulation is a core mechanism of what is considered good mental healthcare. They do not see your pain as something real, but as something caused by your behavior or your brain. Basically gaslighting. They also use different types of medication almost as standard practice. These medications often make people feel worse mentally and physically. But again, it is not about how you feel. It is about changing your behavior and making you more manageable for the people around you. It is abuse sold as care. People have good reason to escape it and run for the hills.
