Psychologists overdiagnose

 Psychologists overdiagnose diagnose anxiety and depression in people as far as I am concerned.Any one who is referred to many psychologists for a specific problem is diagnosed with anxiety and depression.Sometimes the person just has physical health problems, problems with housing or landlords,has problems at their job because of a😝bad boss or stressful work environment,financial problems or huge debt load.Some people have emotional problems from divorce or relationship breakup.

                       Sometimes all that is needed is to solve the person's underlying problem and offer concrete help.But psychologists label people and needlessly medicalise conditions because their jobs depend on it.Only sometimes psychologists offer concrete help to people.

                Not everyone wants to endlessly analyse thoughts,feelings and emotions and many people with problems do not have mental illness.It is not a good idea to get people to depend too much on psychologists.Many people need a better social support network or specific help from individuals and organizations.

               Actually psychiatrists are worse than psychologists;not only do they overlabel people but they also prescribe psychiatric drugs at the drop of a hat and those drugs often have serious side effects.
