Void - there are definitely still places in medicine where the root cause is addressed. I was referring to for example, someone having a mental health issue (not one where they have a predisposed genetic factor of course, that requires medication) and rather than trying to figure out what’s causing them to have imbalances and addressing the underlying issue, band-aiding with something that masks over the issue itself and makes it feel as if it was gone, but later realizing the core problem still presides.

let me ask--are you thinking of going to college, and think you need to pick a specific specialty or study to be good at it? because it's completely valid and even a very good thing for many people not to immediately go into school, and to just learn to navigate the "real" world and see if you find something that speaks to you. yes it can make it more difficult to go to school in some cases, but it can also offer a lot more maturity and experience to bring to a schooling scenario when you know you really want to do something

zrek - that's certainly a risk, of course, but all the therapists I've worked with I've been very lucky to have ones who deeply, genuinely care for the wellbeing of their patients, and make the system better as much they can from the inside. without good people in the systems, the systems will only ever be "bad"

...Although, in some cases, fixing the symptoms is literally just a matter of yeeting medicine at someone's head lmao because no therapy in the world is going to correct neurotransmitter issues

O_o no? That definitely doesn't align with medical practice since to 'fix the symptoms' it requires going to the root cause. It's why cognitive behavior therapy is one of the most popular types

Eve - I’ve thought about therapy but then considered the way clinics operate. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to help people because I’d be operating under the systems of the masses - once again instructed to only fix the symptoms and only use specific knowledge. Maybe if it was my own clinic. I just feel like it has a lot of the same corruption as medicine.

zrek - (lol yeah not surprised); even if it's not fixing society, it means the world to the person whose world you touch. and those butterfly effect ripples make all the difference in the end, even if we can't see the impacts and results

Social work can be many different things. You could work for a shelter, such a case manager/social worker. Counseling, Resident Support. Or you could get more into the medical field. My sister is a psychologist at a hospital. She did social work before that. She has a masters in psychology.

Gladius - (autocorrect wants to call you Gladys) thank you, it’s difficult not to treat it as if I am committing to my life’s work - the intensity of it all seems to make it that way. Sometimes I feel like even when I’m trying to do good in the spheres I know I’m only fixing the symptoms of a broken society rather than fixing it at the source. It’s rather draining and makes things feel hopeless. I hope things can change for the better faster than I assume.

honestly the most important thing: do good in the spheres you're part of now, where you have power and control to. we aren't all going to make massive change, but together we can get there with multitudes of little changes
