There are limits to the validity of psychiatric/psychological therapeutics when applied across large scale contexts. These problems are not individual or even small group scale, because they are a product of protracted historical scale processes.

Your lack of any sense of historicity means you just do see where the problems you refer to come from, what caused them, the mechanisms that rolled them out, or the directional vectors they are driving towards, and at what scale.

None of what you analyse just came out of the ether like some bad throw in a craps game. The rollout of late indulgence capitalism has had massive inter-generational consequences that cannot now be undone, because the very human material that once would have enabled your solutions to work, have been swept away.
