I dont' wanna get too 1970s on everybody, but I've been thinking about it...for some (alot?) of us, I think there are factors that keep us sick. For some people, its family, some people its economic issues, some people its the mental health system itself, some people I think it may be stigma...if you've been out of the mainstream for a while, it can be impossible to get back. Why? Much of society in the 21st century won't let you back in.
I'm rambling. I'm just thinking about this. I don't doubt that madness/mental illness is a real problem, and targeted somatic treatments can help, but...I think there's a lot going on outside of symptoms and such when we're talking about "mental illness" and what it means to be "mentally ill," especially "severely mentally ill."
What do y'all think?
