The biopsychosocial model of mental health (reprise)

This is what is accepted by most UK mental health orgs. Mental health and illnesses are caused by biological, psychological and social factors.

There is a wide spectrum of humanity and in a fucked up civilisation/society some types in this natural diversity are disadvantaged and/or unwanted. Based on this idea the only valid (ethical, humane, etc) treatments are social model solutions which aim to create an equal society and personal choice/empowerment. No one is ill; just different.
