The biggest qualm I have with mental health care lies in the pharmaceutical/doctor relationship. People can't afford shrinks so they go to their regular practitioner and tell them they're depressed. Doctors, seeing dollar signs, would rather sell someone on a quick script for whatever anti-depressant is all over their posters, pens, and notepads than actually diagnose the problem, set up a therapy plan, and let a Psychiatrist that they know the patient can't afford take care of it. They know exactly what their doing. They'll hand you a plastic bag full of samples and then schedule you for a three week check up to see if they sucessfully pushed a drug off on you.
