Talk therapy isn't "sactioned brainwashing". Have you ever been to a therapist or spoken with one?
You don't work in mental health. If you did, you wouldn't be saying these things.
LOL at "community based options". You mean group therapy, hosted by certified therapist (or counselor if you're at school). It is the same as regular therapy except there are more people.
Lots of women get depressed, especially after having a baby when their hormones and body chemistry get thrown off. Women are much more prone to chemical/hormonal changes the body.
Again, you do not know what you're talking about.
Lol I'm a qmhp, that doesn't mean I have to drink the kool aid. And by community based I mean actually getting out among real people. I'm not saying therapy is never necessary but we both know its over prescribed and under effective.
When it comes to black boys, mentoring is infinitely more effective than clinical therapy. And when it comes to women a large amount of women get depressed because they feel overwhelmed. I can point to many cases where, privately, they admit that they don't want to work, they want a family and a simpler life, but society is telling them they need to be out here kicking ass. Its quite a mental paradox and leads to unhappiness. Add in to the fact that, the more they make and the more achievements they garner, the less likely it is to find a suitable mate, its a recipe for constant unhappiness and a blank check for therapists.
I can tell you're still young so you still have an idealistic view of the world. Also it sounds like you're in the human services field. Take it from someone whose been where you're going, when you finish racking up that student debt just to make 30-40k a year and you're forced to either open your own service and work 60+ hour work weeks to make it successful or rack up more debt to get a master's degree, while you see women in your age range on Facebook celebrating anniversaries, child births, spelling bees, sports tournaments, etc. It's gonna hurt. If you have kids they won't even be able to play with your peers children because they'll be 5-10 years younger. And god forbid you go all in until your 40s, when the option to have kids is completely gone...
You can't have it all, no one can. The drugs will just make you feel like you're winning...
O yea #Aquarius gang checking in
