Mental health is still only crossing into the science stream. Science was not really the basis for mental health, though it is becoming so today due to the rejection of a lot of mental health matters raised today, with near little scientific evidence to substantiate the claims. Mental health is being forced towards a more scientific approach, thus mental health diagnosis is changing dramatically in relation to diagnosis. Mental health has been based very much on estimation of the persons presenting concerns, as one cannot prove / disprove a past experience. Instead, a physician has to have the ability to prove / disprove whether the client is lying or not.Science always talks and shows proof of things. Sometimes, it doesnt work for everybody.
If the practitioners told clients they were having normal experiences and that symptoms are 60% likely to reside themselves in the coming months, they would have less business, thus an industry would come tumbling down.
The US capitalist model has literally monetised mental health into a state of disbelief.
the main benefit of accurate diagnoses is that more accurately aimed treatment will ensue.
In my experience the biggest waste of money was having bad therapy or therapists that were not knowledgeable in what I needed.
I agree that correct diagnosis is absolutely required. Correct diagnosis needs to be with someone fully educated and experienced in diagnosis of trauma related mental health illnesses. Otherwise correct treatment cannot be given.
And mental health is absolutely a money making industry. That will always mean that often clients best interests are not always met.
There will be people with PTSD who have not been diagnosed correctly, either through not seeking help, or seeking inappropriate help. But there are just as many people who have wrongly been diagnosed with PTSD. It is a very over diagnosed illness. Often as soon as a therpist or doctor hears the word 'flashback' they assume PTSD. Even the term flashback is used incorrectly, more often it's just memory recall.
Correct diagnosis is vital to any mental illness.
