    yeah cause psychiatry is doing such a great job combatting depression, anxiety, etc.

    “doctors exist and yet cancer still exists, curious”

    Psychiatry + psychology is saving lives and keeps improving. It has flaws like all healthcare within capitalism.

    These are real phenomena but cannot be addressed at the individual level. Chemical imbalance in the brain is a symptom, not a cause

    It’s both. Even in a communist society, you would still have chemical imbalances, depression, neuro-divergence, schizophrenia, etc. The system would just be accommodating and not adding more stress.

    Thinking capitalism is the cause of all mental health issues is utopic and not based in reality. It willfully ignores science in favor of ideology that is outdated and deleuzional (pun intended).
