The following seems logical: If psychiatrists think you need psychiatric treatment, you must have a mental condition and psychiatrists must have some idea how to treat it.

If given appropriate treatment, your condition should improve.

If you have a chronic mental condition with no known treatment, you should be told the diagnosis and be able to get well fair and/or protection from discrimination.

Yet psychiatrists always seem to think I need treatment, basically because I have trouble getting on with other people. The treatment never helps. I've never been told I had an actual mental condition. Consequently I can't get well fair or protection from discrimination although my main problem is people discriminating against me making it impossible for me get suitable employment. This has persisted most my life, over a number of decades and in two countries (UK and Canada).

It seems to me there's something weird here. The only explanations I can think of are either I have a condition psychiatrists don't want to admit to knowing about, are unable or unwilling to treat but wish to study or I'm in the control group for some experiment so psychiatrists aren't allowed to give me proper treatment or a diagnosis.

Have I got anything wrong about this? Anything I can do about this?
