>>4192201>Well, fuck me for trying to help, I guess.You shouldn't be to hard on yourself anon. You suggested what might have worked for you but sadly most trained professionals are ill equipped to deal with a hikikomori and they are completely useless when it comes to helping suicidal people since they essentially lock them up in a prison, and on releasing them depriving them of fundamental human rights. I cannot understand how any rational person could see that as helpful to a person who already feels trapped. 2/3 people incarcerated for suicide felt they were not treated with dignity and respect.
If you want to catch a serial killer you need to understand how he thinks before you can stop him from killing his next victim.
Likewise you need to understand the mind of a suicidal person or a hikikomori in order to help them.
Even Tamaki Saito admits he cannot do anything, but that doesn't mean someone else can.
As I see it Psychiatry has no future especially if it clings on to it's drugs and it''s bible, however psychologists may have a future if they divorce themselves from the labels invented by the APA and social work has even more potential if they work from the heart and not try to fix another person's brain that they see as defective.
I also recommend mindful meditation as a form of cope, from what I've heard it can even be used for hedonistic purposes and with practice some anons may no longer feel a desire to visit /s/
But one thing is certain until we manage to create cheap robot waifus there is no substitute for a loving hug, psychiatrists fail to acknowledge that, they have medicalized the human condition.
I recommend the works of Thomas Szasz and Peter Breggin on the subject of psychiatry.
I used to be simply a skeptic of psychiatry but my bad experience had made me an anti-psychiatrist, who like an anti-theist in regards to organized religion sees psychiatry as intrinsically harmful to the individual and society as a whole.
