Hello everyone! This is my #Histmental2021 post for this week! This meme to me is very relevant to the class because it discusses the nature of psychiatry. Psychiatry has evolved a ton but there is no denying that some mental illnesses cannot be cured completely. This is relevant to the readings because they discuss heavily how some believe mental health to be a social construction. The fact that some mental illnesses cannot be cured or specifically identified led to much speculation about the validity of psychiatry throughout it’s history.
