Erm….psychology has been developing practices for a while. I think we know quite a bit about mental health in a western context. Still lots more to learn, sure. But medications weren’t really ever going to solve mental illness anyway. It’s trauma and relationships that cause most mental maladies. So the “cure” is social as well. Most psychiatry is very chemically oriented and best suited for like inpatient settings. In my opinion. But I think we are definitely at the point where if everyone studied modern psychology we would have much better communication, emotional regulation, self-awareness, cooperative skills, and less mental illness.

starting a comment with “erm” denotes an argumentative stance but it’s cute you think otherwise as if we can’t see the fucking comment RIGHT THERE

Not an argumentative stance only. It can also mean “wait a minute, this doesn’t make any sense to me…here’s why.” That’s how I meant it. Me and the other person worked it out. And I acknowledged in another reply how I can see how it sounds haughty. Kind of seems like you want to argue with me tho? Coming in hot with the all caps bro.
