As I understand it, many mental health problems have physical causes.

Yeah. (Oh for a Trekkish universe where the human body was understood
and all problems could be resolved in convenient fifty-minute
intervals! ;-)

And a salt cellar can regrow kidneys etc.

I suspect it might be more that they'll choose to listen to one of their
voices rather than society's.

Hmm. I know I don't have to point out why the thought of listening to
some of society's voices troubles me just as much. <g>

Just different, the norm changes constantly depending where you are.

Therein lies the conundrum. Slippery sod, that norm.

And most humans don't make good chameleons (and remain what I consider
human)

<snip mental health horror story>

*sighs* Yeah. Well. It's appalling. Just... ugh.

It and many other tales came to light when an fairly idealistic newly
qualified social worker was trying to fill the gaps in the case files he'd
inherited.

Dangerous might be one thing, inconvenient is another.

I shall not be steered into a feminist rant. I. Shall. Not. <g>
