What is the model of psychiatry and mental health services in Canada?
Archetypal asked:
In the U.S. psychiatry has turned into a medication-oriented discipline. Any ‘psychotherapy’ offered is mostly cognitive-behavioral, and quite brief in duration. Finding a psychiatrist or mental health professional to discuss the big existential problems is next to impossible in the U.S. I’m wondering if it’s like that in Canada as well since their healthcare system is different, or so I understand.
