		<description>I'm afraid I'm with the Hogwash caller....

Research suggests that professionals can never admit to problems themselves.

Research suggests that "personality disorder" is given to those who don't "look the part"

And the brain scanner I look after (yep) is rarely understood by neurologists and always throws up more questions.  So how on earth psychiatrists think they know is beyond me.

So, one could say mental health is a world for professionals who want status at the expense of people who can't argue.  If you look ok, you'll get "personality disorder" diagnosis, or whatever matches malingering in your country, and if you look bad, you'll get ineffective and abrupt treatment from people who don't really want to think and just want to go home to their salary with the tick-boxes filled...

The few who aren't like that have waiting lists for their services twice the length of my arm...</description>

		<description>Yes, there is a long history of abuse in the mental health system, as a whole, and that is one of the biggest reasons for deinstitutionalization. Fear of being committed is usually among the reasons people don't seek treatment. But most research agrees that fear of stigma is number one.</description>
