How come help doesn't exist?

[if6wasnin9]

I've been in the mental health system for 50 years and no one wants to help. I thought all these people were supposed to diagnose and treat all these disorders I have like bipolar, Asperger's, etc!
These professional people are supposed to pick up on traits and nuances and they could care less about helping you solve your problems!

I'm not really sure how to answer this, but I really do hope you get to feeling better.

Very few professionals know how to help dual diagnosed individuals.

They get paid as long as they are trying. If they succeed, the pay stops. Sorry, but I found out the hard way. However, they are probably far more often just incompetent, not corrupt. Studying Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, John Cleese took an informal survey whenever he met something who he thought had really shown talent in their field. He'd ask them how many of their colleagues really understood their subject. Answers ranged from 5% to 20%, averaging around 12%. It probably takes some talent to get onto the patient list for the good ones.
