BOTH sides have been in denial about this reality but this bill passed with bipartisan support.
In the end it will save us $ because soooooo many so-called diseases are psychosomatic.

Shock therapy for half the United States?
mental health outcomes continue to decline just as we obsess more and more about mental health and spend exponentially more money on it? At the very least, it isn't helping. At worst, it's exacerbating the problem. The latter is far more likely than the former. I always ask this: how in the world did people make it a century ago through an economic depression and then another world war? What passes for trauma these days is ludicrous in comparison. Is it possible that all the pathologizing and all the therapeutic obsession makes people weaker, and thus more prone to catastrophizing and, thus, becoming more anxious and depressed? Almost certainly. Take your fixation on "trauma," and how it is the root of all antisocial behavior. Let's pretend for a moment that it was true. Would focusing on "trauma" produce positive results for anyone, including the antisocial person? It would not. It does not. Not only do we lack time machines, but we don't have any good solutions for eradicating it. About the only therapy that has proven effective longitudinally is cognitive-behavioral therapy which, when done correctly, wastes little time on the alleged trauma. The sort of stuff you profess propagates victimhood mentalities and learned helplessness. And hopelessness.
