[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 18555, member: 1498"] I have more issue with the phrase "mental illness" and the push to seek "help" for "mental illness" when there is so little objective diagnosis information and successful medical treatment. But in this case, I believe Dr. van der Kolk is objecting to, not supporting, the condemned-to-life-concept current in psychiatry. He's objecting to subjective and unreliable diagnosing of young children and putting them on medications prescribed for behaviors, not disorders, with the idea that the children will have to be on them for life.
