The Mental Health Crisis: Are We Treating the Disease, or the Dis-Ease?
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.
