Yes but it seems like the treatment is addressing the symptoms and not the outstanding source of them as you say. We are slapping band-aids on an open wound
As a person who experienced both the symptoms and the treatment in the US I can assure you that it’s better to receive band-aid treatment than nothing at all.
Treatments could be—and should be—better, but comparing US to countries where psychological issues are being ignored and stigmatized is not to the benefit of the latter.
