I agree. Recently read a book that asked "what use is giving SSRIs to Sisyphus? To have him push the boulder with more drive and hope?"

My favorite quote: "stop expecting YOU from people". If you have the ability to be happy 24/7, congrats - but you can't expect everyone is like you

while I agree a lot. I struggle with it in regards to how we diagnose BPD and how we don't treat anxiety medically. In NYC basically no easily accessible (not private) psychs will provide (1/?)

But with the mind injury example, in the same way u can treat a sprain w/ medication or pt, just giving pain meds doesn’t negate the physical work and SOMETIMES letting it rest through R&R is enough
