Why don’t your psychiatric drugs work better?
Mental health care has evolved with advancements in neuroscience and pharmacology, yet challenges persist in understanding and treating mental illnesses effectively. Despite funding and medication availability, the complexity of the brain continues to hinder progress, causing skepticism towards chemical imbalances as the sole cause. The history of psychiatric treatments reveals a shift from physical interventions to drug-based approaches. The introduction of new drugs like Cobenfy shows promise but also highlights the need for alternative, community-based care models alongside neuroscience. Bridging the gap between medical and non-biomedical approaches may offer a holistic solution for mental health challenges.
