Ken Kinter is an awesome teacher, mentor, and friend. I have learned so much about helping the mentally ill and HOW to effectively help them.

I will say the same thing about you. You are a true shining light into the darkness of the world of mental illness, and addictions. Thanks for watching!

Imagine if the wheel never existed and as a tool to roll large items down the road, we used items that were shaped like triangles. Sure...eventually, somehow you will move some items, but this is not a tool that I would even consider effective. The triangle is our current mental healthcare system. It's like we spent billions of dollars, and ruined millions of lives to simply create some exotic material to help the triangle roll with less violence and destruction. It's still a highly ineffective triangle. The fathers of what is now the APA today knew that unless you used objective testing to see what was happening inside the patient's brain, everything else should be taken with just a grain of salt. They knew this in the year 1860. The mechanics of each individual's brain is identical to a fingerprint. They are all unique. This system does not even come close to resolving anyone's issues.

I share your frustrations with our mental healthcare system (as well as our healthcare system as a whole). We spend 4x what other countries do on healthcare and don't live as long, often dying of preventable causes. In defense of the field of Psychiatry, which didn't even exist until the 1880's-1890's, we are a new field and have made many mistakes along the way. We didn't have a psychotropic medication until 1955 and gave Dr. Muniz the Nobel Prize for lobotomizing people as recently as 1949. Since then, many of our mistakes are being corrected even as we continue to learn (and make new mistakes). The brain is also the most complicated part of the body in both structure and function and I don't know if we'll ever completely understand it. That's one of the reasons I am in this field. More people are recovering now (Harding et al., 1987a) but we can do a hell of a lot better than we are. I enjoy seeing how antiquated the stuff I learned early on has become and look forward to more of that as we move forward.
