I want you to think about this current approach to treatment and ask yourself: is it really working? If it is working for you and you think nothing needs to change, then congratulations, and you should consider yourself a success story. I'm just one of those people who thinks actually knows that things can be better, the world can be better, and if this video pisses you off. Sure, it's better than it used to be, but we still have a long way to go and we got to look at our perception, our understanding, if we want to help things shift away from a system that we can see isn't working.
Ever wondered if our current methods for treating depression really hit the mark? This episode of 'The Mad Psych Nurse' dives deep into this question, offering a unique perspective from someone who’s seen both sides of the desk.
