For three hours once a week, we learn to be human –
To treat the person before the disease
And to speak up for our peers in need.
This week, we learn about depression.
They say the numbers only continue to rise
And we should always listen to a colleague’s cries
For help.
But then we move on,
The matter resolved.
After all of three hours,
The problem is solved.
So then why, every year, do the losses compound?
Too many gone with barely a sound.
Because there is nothing to listen to if we are too scared to speak
And there is far more to learn than they taught us this week.

The medical profession is extremely dehumanized and seems to be largely responsible for the pandemic of mental illnesses and addictions and violence that we have today.
In first year psychiatric residency I discovered that talking with my patients about their emotional problems and the trauma that had caused them helped them to recover.
I second year residency my supervisor attempted to have me thrown out of the program because I wouldn’t give a recovering depressed patient a lobotomizing drug that might block the emotions that are needed for healing.
Psychiatry and governments did everything they could to prevent me from saving patients in this way, and they did the same to other therapists, I’ve since learned.
Psychiatry and medicine are well funded by drug companies that make fortunes by keeping people on drugs.
