Have you ever heard that psychiatry claimed someone, at least one person, previously diagnosed as mentally sick healthy and sane?

No. They see us as customers for life, however short that may end up being, with their horrible drugs.
technically I was told a schizophrenic was considered to have recovered if they have no positive symptoms for a period of two years. Fat chance of that happening. And they would forever be labeled a schizophrenic even if they recovered.

If they cannot cure mental disorders completely like many illnesses are being cured in the 21st century by the modern medicine, it means that psychiatry stands at a very low level, like medicine in the middle ages when only a few sicknesses were cured.
In that case the question can be asked: whether psychiatry does nothing or so little, making so much harm to its patients by adverse effects of its drugs, is it reasonable to turn to psychiatrist, or maybe it's better to cast aside those useless guys?

Can't cure something that doesn't exist lol And they know that.
Or at least, something that was once seen by the Medical 203 (book pre-DSM)and the DSM 1, as reactions to life and trauma. You know, like a natural variation of human and the human experience.
Well, you can't sell drugs with that kind of take on things.
Considering everyone's neural connections are as unique to them as a finger print, I'm not seeing any kind of "cure" in the near future, lest it be another pharma concoction of falsified data the FDA breezed past because they were too busy cracking down on small Cannabidoil (CBD) businesses using natural product to help people.
I like living in the world in my head because I'm in charge half the time.
