[QUOTE="klmno, post: 297285, member: 3699"] My computer won't let me open that link right now so I didn't read the article yet. But regarding this statement- this is EXACTLY what I have been fighting the sd and legal people and a few tdocs over for almost 4 years now. I think it boils down to this- no matter what they say, they really don't view mental illness as [I]illness[/I] that needs to be treated- they view it as a behavior problem. I think that view gets reinforced by subtle messagees in our society- like calling it "behavioral health"- which leads many to think it's "behavior" oriented and the "health" part is just a sugar-coating for the parties involved People don't usually treat a diabetic who's insulin levels are out of whack so becomes very moody, unable to function, etc, as a "behavior problem" who can change if motivated or punished enough.
