Overdiagnosis of mental health issues

4/18/2021

0 Comments

 
There has been an increasing amount of diagnosis in mental health circles.  While a diagnosis is helpful in allowing therapist's to treat clients and follow a treatment plan using evidence based treatments, it can also be detrimental if therapist's just label a client with a diagnosis with the intent of medicating.  The truth is that if you follow the money trail, a diagnosis means more money for insurance companies.  

Therapist's have to have high integrity in treating the whole person.  Why do you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, etc?  There is a context behind the symptoms.  Simply treating the symptom will never resolve the deep root issue.  While medication for depression can provide some help, it is never the magic pill we all wish it could be in helping resolve our depression.
