Mental health issues are escalating at an alarming rate. Last century psychiatry involved a lot of talk therapy and introspective analysis:  Now it’s more about labelling (diagnosing) from a list of symptoms in the psychiatric DSM, which are linked to a list of psychotropic drugs, potentially leading to unhealthy dependencies. Most of these diagnosis labels have significant overlap, such as autism, ADHD, schizophrenia and depression, which are prone to differing subjective opinions, depending on perspective. So, it becomes all too easy to prescribe potentially dangerous drugs which may not be appropriate.
