Wdym by a holistic approach?holistic approach and maybe giving a shit
seeing the patient as a whole person with different things going on in their life outside of meds to make a more informed decision also they should listen and believe us more and not just gaslight us about medication (eg. refusing to acknowledge you are having issues with a medication)Wdym by a holistic approach?
yeah, it's pretty common to find psychiatrists that view mental illnesses like diseases, in that they are purely material in nature. what Laing called a false epistemology. pretty unfortunateseeing the patient as a whole person with different things going on in their life outside of meds to make a more informed decision also they should listen and believe us more and not just gaslight us about medication (eg. refusing to acknowledge you are having issues with a medication)
this is the right answer. id like to add, that many of the issues in mental healthcare are more due to a flawed system of insurances limiting what psychiatrists can do, and how they can help the patient.- Make diagnosing an ongoing process instead of an event. There should always be room for revision of the dx.
- Seeing the therapy as a collaboration instead of the doctor analyzing and treating the patient.
- More focus on the symptoms that are bothering the patient instead of trying to make them "normal"
