    As a consumer, the biggest issue to me on top of everything you've listed, is that the DSM purports that it's based in scientific evidence despite it just being a giant book of ways to stigmatize and discriminate against groups of people who don't fit into their idea of 'normal' (gender dysphoria anybody? caffeine addiction?... MOURNING?). The only people it's serving to benefit is insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, but the public in general - if they end up in a state in which they think they have a mental health issue/disorder - has been convinced that they need a diagnosis to treat their woes. The DSM is the top-down issue when it comes to treatment options, too, and sadly this pervades the field of psychology when you learn that "this" disorder (based on the DSM's definition) needs "that" treatment (that was created according to the DSM's definition...), further stigmatizing these so-called classifications of individuals according to groups, and then limiting their treatment options according to "standardization". Just as you said in the case of BPD: if you are unlucky enough to get that diagnosis (despite there being 256 different ways "it" can present itself, and regardless of the accuracy of someone else's subjective view of another's BEHAVIOURS being deemed SYMPTOMS), you HAVE to see a clinical psychologist in the UK (totally messed up), which is undoubtedly one of the most expensive options, and you will simultaneously be told that only certain treatments are appropriate for you (which I beg to differ as to that holding true; it's just another example of pigeonholing people into a category that CAN do them a disservice and even be re-traumatizing; Linehan originally said DBT [now known as the "gold standard for BPD"; BUZZWORD] in particular was for treating high suicidality and self-harming behaviours, which are only two options out of 9 for the criteria of BPD, but here we are! Not to mention that so-called 'borderline' individuals typically have difficulties with their own concepts of themselves, and here's psychology - as far as I'm concerned - taking advantage by insisting that they believe what someone else says is true for them: that they need this, that, and the other, and nothing else will work [placebo effect at best?]). Don't even get me started on the problems of "Evidence Based Practice" being a buzzword in and of itself, or the fact that treatment protocols have it written into their manuals that "Therapy Interfering Behaviours" and "resistance" is ultimately an excuse to blame the client for the treatment failing, instead of the treatment itself being faulted for its limitations. It's sad, but the profession is in a downward spiral; good intentions have gone awry, and the helping profession is at high risk of turning into the hampering profession because there's a high risk for being misled; teachers misleading students; students misleading each other; and ultimately those graduates going on to be therapists with the best of their own intentions, but misleading themselves and their clients as to the usefulness of what they themselves forget to think and view critically about what it is they're actually doing anymore. I think the biggest underlying secret is that psychology (and psychiatry) is fighting itself to recognize that trauma is the biggest cause of anyone's psychological/emotional/social issues because you can't put that down to biology, and therefore you can't standardize anything, and therefore you can't put a timeline on healing or just give a pill to cure someone of the horrible things that have happened to them either.

    This is a great video! Some really good points. I was watching your older videos which are really good but I have seen the development in your video quality and style which is amazing. For example the music in the background etc. I really think you should have more subscribers though. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    I also think there needs to be more information about careers and even getting work experience. You need clinical work experience to then progress to a doctorate or a placement but then you can’t the experience as easy or you need to travel far to do so?

    One of the biggest problems is the psychologisation of everything, the need for an answer. This brings about rigid individualism instead of individuation. This then divides clients into categories that they religiously stick to it hurts them in the long run. There is also the issue of co-dependency on the client therapist relationship. This can be destructive in the long run as the client relies on the therapist/psychologist and the psychologist (especially some nefarious ones) see a cash cow in the client and will introduce issues that may never have been there in the first place. Then there is the issue of “internet marketers” who promise a future to vulnerable people, they fall for it without addressing the underlying issues going on.

    *I’m extremely upset. Srini Pillay literally wrote an article titled “The Biology of Telepathy” that was reviewed by Lybi Ma in which he prefaces the entire article by stating that telepathy is a literal PHENOMENON only to continue by stating that phenomena isn’t overt. That’s preposterous and I’m extremely upset.*

    Actually the issues you mentioned exist in China also:I attended one so called "best psychology universoty in China", and almost every single teachers keep repeating western experiments,I assume reasons are they all read the SAME chinese translation of text books and rarely conduct experiemnts by themselves… I also think psychology studies already swift the path ,I even suspect related studes helped the NAZI 's race classification experiments which promoted the german natinalism,and that's what I want to know …but since class kept teaching hundred years old cases and don't care about too muh of why history happen and nowday social problems…it's mind boggling for me

    I almost wish I lived in the fifties from what I understand people hung together in groups and questioned the world without being thought of as crazy. I think pre 80s the world was a better place for open dialogue across cultures and economic classes etc. I find the way the world is now too many interesting people are silenced by modern psychology so we have more of a mindless worker rat public that consumes is subservient and doesn't think.

    @@GetPsyched ok that's strange 🤔. Well I came across this article written by psychology today magazine that I find utterly unbelievable. This article is saying that if you are a heterosexual and you don't want date or be with a transgender that you are dehumanizing them. I find that this is a completely disgusting thing to say. People should have the right to be with who they want to and not be forced to be with someone they don't want to. I like psychology. But I wonder if the psychologist who wrote this is pushing their own personal agenda. www.dailywire.com/news/48553/psychology-today-people-refusing-date-transgenders-paul-bois

    You pointed out that psychological info needs to be more accessible to the public in your first argument... but it's literally why websites like psychologytoday.com exist. But you are also right- we DO need more blogs with psychological info such as that so that everyone can read empirical findings in simpler terms whilst still citing peer-reviewed articles.
