> The patterns of the mental health establishment of the 21st century are oddly reminiscent of where physics and chemistry stood ca. the mid-19th century. Legitimate advances are being made, but most of the tools are still unreliable and many of the theories still fairly reek of superstition and magical thinking.

Ah this is also my stance. There are lots of good will in this subject, but trusting it is like trusting surgeons in 19th century. There may be no other option, but sometimes it's better to leave the bullet in your chest rather than letting it be infected by doctors with dirty hands.
