I've observed both in-person and online, of those in treatment, counseling or seeing a shrink is LARGELY INEFFECTIVE. People who go on psychiatric medications suffer from diverse side effects (weight gain being most common), and such medications don't really solve the problems in their lives other than temporarily stablizing their mood or feeling in some cases.
If you are a consumer or mental health care practitioner, what do you think is the cause of mental health problem? (Oppressive demonic spirits or genetic? Clearly, at least in some cases, I suspect people considering suicide is under demonic control.) What do you think will help since my observation is mental health care seem to
be very much in infantile stage when compared to physical health care.
There are no formulas for solving mental health issues. I had a friend who recently passed away at the age of 48 who had been on heavy dose of Zyprexa for long time. He was single, and unemployed/underemployed for most of his life. None of his issues were resolved at the time of his death.

There are methods which actually work in many cases.
www.emofree.com
it is like acupuncture without needles, merely tapping on energy points.
Lest you think it's a scam, the manual is free for the download. And, the videos are $ 60 for the basic set, and you are authorized to make and distribute free 100 copies.
Do read the manual first.
A lot of problems are the human mind responding to bad things which happen. Anxiety and panic attacks are examples.
Craig shows in his video that he has cured vets who have been hospitalized for decades with PTSD IN ONE DAY!!!
My son is using it. He has used it for students freaked out before a test, and in two minutes, they are completely relaxed and motivated.

I work with children/adolescents who have diagnosed behavioral and/or emotional problems (mental health conditions). A majority of these children have been physically, sexually, and/or mentally abused by family members. The root of their problems occur as a result of poor parenting skills. Others have inherited illnesses from their parents too. I have seen medication and one-on-one therapeutic treatment work effectively for individuals who have a supportive and caring family. It is almost useless if the family is not willing to work together to make improvements.

You are right in your observations. But maybe the big business people pushing drugs and terrible foods are the demons. Do you think pesicides are good for the brain. They put them in our (USA) foods BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL IN RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
Phifoundation.org is trying to reverse this. Remember in the 80s when the economy was doing great. They were saying at the top of articles that we are in a depression talking about epidemic levels of people getting depressed. See this page for cause and cure of most of depression with great short stories.

Well I tend to agree with you on some points like the counseling being "largely ineffective". But you compared psychiatry with physical care saying it was infantile. It could be argued that both are infantile. All they do is toss drugs at you to subdue the symptoms a little and take your money. They don't give a hoot about curing you. Now as far as this demon thing goes... that's pure nonsense. Genetics?... perhaps to some degree. Environment?... now that's a biggie. Self?... even bigger. The cause of most mental disorders, in my opinion, is how people think of themselves and how they fit into their surroundings. I've lived on both sides of this issue. I spent five years in the rut of depression and finally found my way out. Was it a doctor, therapist, or drugs? Of course not. It was in a book that taught me a more logical, rational way to think and how to look at life and my surroundings. Once I did that, getting better got easier and easier.

I agree that treatment at this point for mental distress is largely ineffective as well with meds not being an answer either... doc will prescribe what he's comfortable with or with whatever the latest drug pusher has convinced him to buy into...
best resort for me and hundreds of others in the mental health community in NYC is "buying in" to the recovery model
I'd been diagnosed psychiatrically for the first time when I was 7 with minimal brain dysfunction but then they tested my IQ which was through the roof and not at all consistent with MBD so my official diagnosis was lazy and antisocial (back in the '50s)
the recovery model works on a strengths basis rather than the deficit basis the traditional medical model goes by... it works with what's right with you and builds on that rather than what's wrong
I am now 55, med and therapist-free, content with my work, looking forward to the future, proactive about my mental wellness
the West pathologizes too much... people in 3rd world countries fare better than we do in the mental health department... they take care of their own and have more tolerance for quirks... they work on the person's strengths
as far as the cause of most mental distress? IMHO it is people, places and things.... how we react to our life experience, the interactions we've had with our elders... often we are just mimicing the behaviors we learned from the people entrusted with our care...
I am not even certain anymore that I believe that MH issues are hereditary... we are what we learn to be
