There are a lot of very interesting fringe areas within the subject of mental health.
Try searching - mystical psychosis, spiritual emergency, shamanism & schizophrenia, as some examples.
i don't deny that people are unwell/ill in various ways & to various degrees - But i also feel there are spiritual/transpersonal elements to peoples conditions/experiences. i don't see any either/or.
i do think that people could be being far better helped in most cases - i think the 'mentally ill' are being terribly & tragically failed by our current society & mental health systems.
