Treating mental health wounds, or their causes?
Original: Are we treating mental health wounds—or their causes?
A global debate is underway over whether mental health care addresses root causes or merely manages symptoms. Commentators are questioning if therapy and medication too often treat distress without confronting the underlying drivers, such as family dynamics, childhood adversity and social pressures. The question has particular resonance in parenting discussions, where adults are asking how their own upbringing shapes the emotional wounds they pass on to children.
Why now: Growing public focus on root causes of mental distress rather than symptom management is sparking reflection, especially among parents.
