This is was interesting. Thanks for sharing it!
It's interesting to see the perspectives of these young people. I will say that I'd be interested in seeing how the responses might differ if the participants were my age (middle-aged) and also another group even older than me. I do believe, however, that there would be many similar responses, but also different ones. It was apparent in the video that mental illness understanding and attitudes have improved over the years, but are still far from being where they should be. One of the most disconcerting things I read/hear is how quickly some people are diagnosed, and yet the opposite extreme is detrimental, too. When I took an Abnormal Psychology class years back, there was quite an emphasis on thorough psychiatric evaluations. Students in my class were asked to do mock psychiatric evaluations, according to the prescribed method. I'm sad to say that many psychiatrists and therapists (even PhD psychologists) did not always perform such evaluations or even close to them. Only some. I had only a few psychiatrists include other medical testing, as well, outside of things like Lithium level testing, etc. My current psychiatrist is an elderly gentleman. He happened to be the psychiatrist during my first hospitalization. He even performed a physical. No other psychiatrist ever did that to me. I can't say it is because he is older or if he is just more thorough. I do think training, insurance issues (restrictions=less $$$, doctor $$$, time=$$$), and many other factors, do play a part in this. This is a topic that I think is not discussed as thoroughly as it should be. Last edited by Anonymous46341; Dec 31, 2019 at 10:31 AM.. |
