Message: [QUOTE="joober jones, post: 2745355, member: 1844"] There's so much corruption in the field of mental health and pharmaceuticals that no race or income bracket demographic can be assured of access to adequate/effective mental health support. Don't get me wrong, there are many good and well-meaning people in the field, but to a lot of people it's just a paycheck. You can get a top level psychiatrist who will just pump you full of whatever medication they feel like giving on that particular day, results be damned. The kickbacks are too much to resist for some. As for residential treatment/emergency hospitalization, there's so much overcrowding and so little staff that even when everyone gives 150% it's still not enough. I've seen people of all races and income levels be denied proper treatment or given poor treatment that made them worse off than they were beforehand. [/QUOTE]
