This certainly needs to happen. The public are still dazzled by the apparent superior knowledge and expertise within the medical approach to #mentalhealth. This certainly needs to change.
The model in mental health is changing. The era of "faulty brain chemistry" is over, the hypotheses debunked, the drugs needlessly dangerous. We're moving to a more compassionate understanding that bad things happen to people and they suffer emotionally and physically as a result

This is so true. As the "chemical imbalance" nonsense is belatedly drawing its last breath, many of the powers that be have decided that inflammation is their next new obsession. They hope that this will give them another 30 years of mental health dominance, as the "chemical imbalance" hoax did.
