In "The Mental Health Crisis: Are We Treating the Disease, or the Dis-Ease?," Celina Hu examines the failure of current mental health models to resolve escalating rates of distress. Hu argues that traditional treatment focuses almost entirely on the Medical Model, diagnosing and managing symptoms while overlooking root causes like existential loneliness and serious systemic issues. The article explores the concept of Sociogenic Illness, suggesting that a constant societal focus on pathology may inadvertently create a self-fulfilling prophecy, making populations susceptible to negative mental health narratives. By advocating for a paradigm shift, Hu emphasizes that effective care requires prioritizing prevention, defining health as "flourishing," and building on existing strengths to empower individuals and address the underlying 'dis-ease' affecting society.
