  • Better outcomes aren’t the only measure of mental healthcare progress

    The episode's scope raises several standards at once: symptom relief, safety, access, autonomy, and humane treatment. Those goals can conflict in practice, especially when institutions claim to act for a patient's benefit. Progress can't be assessed by one dramatic success or abuse; it needs evidence about outcomes and the conditions under which care was delivered.
