SPOT ON, it’s not a “mental health epidemic”, people are having normal difficult feelings!!! Difficult feelings are not a health condition!https://twitter.com/RandyNesse/status/1263176750684499969 …

What does this have to do with people experiencing grief and anxiety (amongst other things) during the coronavirus?
That’s what the MH crisis consists of- the rise in emergency referrals, the rise in calls to DCFS, the rise in work for emergency MH personnel. Those institutions only get involved when the MH issues are intense enough it’s likely someone is going to get hurt.

In that case I would agree that MH system overload could be considered a mental health crisis. But the EMOTIONS people are experiencing are not illnesses, and conventional mental health treatment is often counterproductive to people in crisis anyway

Right, an emotion is never the problem. The behaviors- hurting other ppl, hurting yrself- are what we hope to get in the way of. And it’s true the MH industry can’t live up to it’s mission.
