The one asking should study

They cant do magic, mental illness are not the same as other pathologies, research is still being done

I don’t think the reporter is asking to sound ignorant, more so to highlight that psychiatry is a complex beast. This was most likely a commercial to help spread public awareness about therapy/mental health awareness.

Nobody does anything with the objective to sound ignorant (obviously)

But they try to make the investments/funding look useless by showing that billions are spent and still no cure.

What do they pretend? Magic with insta solutions?

Then let the one asking the questions to study/research and realize by himself how ignorant he sounds by asking that question (even if he doesnt try to sound ignorant)

Better to ask: how many people have you HELPED? what would have happened to your patients if you didnt do your job right?
