youth is a social contruct

or rather the glorification of it is. no one is having a good amazing time ever. life is an endless train plowing through bullshit at every age from 5 to 95 there is no magical point where shit gets more or less fun things just change and you change. there will always be happy times and shit times but there will never be wasted time because no matter how old you are you have the capacity to have happy moments and fulfilling experiences. youth is just a time to be naive and make stupid shitty decisions you can laugh at later. dont regret not being able to experience going to music festivals when you were 17, go to music festivals now. theres nothing actually special about being young. if you arent dead youve got time.

Medical schools have been artificially declining medical students for decades, since Bill Clinton and Congress negotiated the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 they capped the number of medical school graduates apprenticing as residents in US teaching hospitals.

We’ve been worried about a doctor shortage for decades because of this, and now our gravest worries have been met with corona, our hospitals are overwhelmed in part because for decades the government has helped keep the number of doctors low on purpose.

These hospitals were not designed to meet the needs of a healthy nation, and coasted heavily on most not having insurance or being too afraid to use their insurance, but with an epidemic like this it is difficult to ignore the deaths on their hands.

Y’know, actually, I will concede that psych fields can be fixed without starting again, but on the condition of one thing happening.

ALL professionals in ALL psych related fields give up ALL power and authority, and that is given to the patients unconditionally. YOU be the ones whos lives depend on toeing the line and keeping on our good side.

eroticcannibal

To further clarify and expand on this, by giving up all power and authority, I mean the following

You do not get to force treatment on anyone.

You do not get to coerce people into treatment.

You do not get to punish people for not agreeing to treatment.

You do not get to obstruct patients from accessing treatments you don’t agree with.

You eliminate “uncooperative”, “resists treatment”, “manipulative towards staff” and everything similar from your vocabulary.

You do not make a diagnosis that the patient doesn’t agree with.

If you and the patient disagree, learn to agree to disagree.

Even better, swallow your damn pride and admit you are wrong.

You do not get to pathologize things you don’t like.

You do not get to turn a patient away because of their diagnosis.

You respect the right of the patient to lead a mad, and even self-destructive life if they don’t want your help.

Probably a whole bunch of other things too.

-Forced institutionalisation needs to go. It needs to go right fucking now.

-If the parent consents to treatment but the child does not, and the child is old enough to understand what said treatment is, don’t force treatment on the child.

-Psych professionals shouldn’t be determining whether trans ppl are allowed to transition (esp now that being trans is no longer considered a mental illness).

-Also like all medical fields, there needs to be more conscious discussions about medical/scientific racism, due to

1) it being a common thing for non neurodivergant black children being diagnosed with schizophrenia in order to further the school to prison pipeline

2) Mentally ill black people having little to no access to proper psychiatric treatment and high rate murder at the hands of the police as well as instutionalizing
