To be fair, there's truth in freud's statement

Nowadays, there are countless mental disorders you just can't cure, all you can do is give pills to lesser the symptoms, tranquilizers, and keep a tab on patients in specialized institutions and that's about it. Medical science has its limits. And it was even more true back in freud's era, I mean it was the very beginning of psychiatry and psychoanalysis; all you can do is observe, take notes, investigate, make guess work, and make sure the patient doesn't hurt himself or others

So...

Absolutely, and when they figure out how to make real money off the mental nutjobs they will put real effort into figuring it out. In the mean time we will ignore most of it and even embrace lot's of it. If your 10 year old wants his dick cut off so he can be a girl you should just be fine with that. Do you suck at sports? Join the womens league and you can be number one!!!

American psychiatry is pretty much all about pills, and it's not new, it was already the case in the 80s. It's unfortunate but it's like that. Pills are supposed to be the last resort. Ideally psychiatrists are also supposed to be psychoanalyst, and to have been through a psychoanalysis themselves too, and they are supposed to resort to psychoanalysis methods first, and only in extreme cases resort to pills. Now in the US it's pills for anything, american psychiatrists as a whole have a dope dealer reputation in europe, certainly a detrimental effect of big pharma's influence if you ask me, at academic level and beyond...

The thing with psychiatric pills, is that if you take let's say pills against paranoia, if you're not paranoid, you'll become paranoid... It's not candies, and it's distributed like candies... Talking about psychoTheRapist....
