Like most professional groups, psychiatrists attend conferences to network and catch up on the latest trends in the industry. A couple of young researchers have recently shown, however, that conferences for psychiatrists are not so different than conferences for multi-level marketers - full of bias toward target products.
We are in a "sick" time of wanting to medicate instead of heal. I realize from some work experiences that it seems easier to medicate than to get to know someone, enter into their world, touch their pain and help them touch it, and offer compassion. As long as we have people who aren't willing to roll up their sleeves and be present to those who are hurting (these very people who make a lot of money from BIG Pharma), we will continue to be overdignosed and overmedicated.
