As a psychologist, I feel we’ve been given lies about mental health. There is a “mental health crisis,” we are told. The need for mental health care has skyrocketed in the past two years, and services are currently overwhelmed. 1.6 million individuals are on waiting lists, and another 8 million need help but cannot even get on these lists. People of all ages, including children, are coming to emergency rooms in a state of hopelessness and death want. But there’s another perspective on this emergency that doesn’t center on the medical establishment. The fact that so many of us are…
