Ishan Shivanand argues that relying only on pharmaceuticals for mental health will overload the healthcare system. The COVID pandemic showed what happens when systems get overwhelmed. He pushes for non-pharmaceutical approaches alongside medication to prevent collapse.
We need to find or explore non-pharmaceutical models as well. Non-pharmaceutical models that can be integrated to the pharmaceutical models. Because if we only rely on the pharmaceutical models of behavioral healthcare and mental health, then a problem can happen, and that problem is the system can be overwhelmed and there can be a critical system failure, something that we saw during COVID And there is a big problem and our system cannot manage the problem, there is going to be a system collapse.
