r/Antipsychiatry | Most "mental illnesses" are actually just trauma responses | I work in a mental health facility as a tech and I see it all the time. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder and medicated, but when I look in their charts I see most of them have a history of abuse, and it's not being addressed anywhere in their treatment.
