I don't discourage people from going to Mental Health. I'm stating the system needs revamped. which it upgrades all the time, you see this in the programs they change along the way, new research, new studies, new medicine, new technology.The mental health field usually gets a lot of criticism, but I do believe in many cases it can be very helpful. My ex went to various doctors and treatments, and made remarkable process. My friend also sees a psychiatrist regularly and he'd be doing a hell of a lot worse if he wasn't. So while I believe there's limitations to what the medical system can do for mental health, I would never want to discourage anyone from seeking it's help if they're suicidal. Actually that would be really irresponsible.
The misconception is that mental health is about "normal" vs "abnormal." This isn't really the case. Mental health is a spectrum, not a binary case. Mental illness is considered when a person isn't able to function in their life, but I know several high-functioning people with traits of mental illness who never opt for treatment.
Overall, humans are complicated, and we're trying to understand ourselves as best we can.
I know many people get help with the right psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and therapists. I was stating what one of the DSM 5 authorst stated, and many psychiatrists themselves. Many psychologists have even stated some of this themselves. I'm just repeating what I've heard from many different people in the system. There's always room for improvement. This is just from my research and findings. You have to look at both positive and negative sides to see the whole picture. There are some people who fall in the cracks of the system like any system. There are various branches of Psychology with various theories, concepts, and belief systems, and if you study it globally even in different cultures, they will disagree with other cultures.
