The system will grow to do a lot of work in looking up and referencing. If you setting out a bit of a bot having your own robot inspired through trauma informed evidence would help building a reference space for the system in that manner then referencing external or referencing links to evidence. Management points and things about the dairy.

I think along the lines of of the medical system and the the veracity of some systems such as the poly-vagal theory and more. And it's based on this evidence yet it finishes up out of the current mainstream. It is a treatment that is deemed on the edge of good medicine because its methods are not analysed by the APA (American Psychiatric Association).

The DSM (Diagnostic and Statical Manual) is a part of our failing health and judicial systems because it has failed to include the full scope of evidence based mental health treatments. This failure aids governments to provide a seemingly appropriate and inexpensive medication regime to mental health care when more advanced and more successful trauma informed and evidence based recovery programs and treatments exist, yet they are not always accessible in the public health system.

The first line of treatment in the Australian medical system is to trial a medication for a few months to see if it has any effects on conditions such as anxiety and or depression. This starting point has about a 50% rate of some form of success which is about what you expect from a placebo.

The first line of treatment is to medicate and see what effects that has. The 50% who for whom medication was a nightmare have had to endure a form of chemical insanity for a dreamed success that had only a vague chance of safely including them; they are left to find an alternative to the medication process that failed and at times harmed them.

We know the DSM model is flawed and that it has failed half of us on this first line of treatment and then left us with the little else that is then applied by the legal and medical systems that have traditionally used it to scale and diagnose mental health conditions. We know it is flawed in any number of ways as well it has a history of examples with homosexuality, and childhood and other trauma being some two of the most pressing historic and current examples. The current model is missing too many in need of recovery from the overwhelming pressures of the way we currently live.

When it comes to trauma and when it comes to the, diagnosis and the treatment of trauma the alternatives offer a wider range of safer and more effective treatments; most with limited side effects and limited withdrawal issues while having rare encounters with genuine suicide risks. Those who have had multiple traumatic experiences in childhood have the equivalent condition that epidemiology describes as chronic childhood trauma. The ICD-10-AM (International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision Australian Modification) does not mention Complex PTSD. The recently released The World Health Organization ICD-11 which Australia has yet to accept and modify now has a mention of complex post-traumatic stress disorder so there is hope on the horizon that this DSM failing will be rectified in some way at some point in time in the future if we are lucky. Just how those changes will be implemented will be of historic importance as this change will have far reaching implications across systems that have traditionally relied on the DSM as a guide, measuring tool or diagnostic manual.

The dependence of government on the DSM involving traumatic events has resulted in a distorted system that is only beneficial by chance while those who are finding recovery are doing so outside the mainstream systems of medication together with evidence based therapies. Today there is a blossoming of research pointing to high recovery rates using psychedelics and other substances which have traditionally been seen as social enemies by governments and policing which has led to it becoming the de facto operating system of the medical and the legal world in Australia.

The International Classification of Diseases appears to have a more substantial science and evidenced based backing. I aim to explore it a little deeper soon if possible.

In taking this journey I got to recognise that I had a unique aspect to my abuse as a child in that as a teen I was employed by a leader in the Catholic community and a highly ranked Knight of the Southern Cross as the editor of the local weekly newspaper in my home town of Yea. Recognising that much of my recovery comes through recognising how those who tried to speak out were silenced and left powerless when papal knight and the police and members of government were on-side with that as an undeclared, unwritten and unstated policy. It was simply a cultural norm for any Christian country.

When the base of social systems operate in the ways that I saw them operate you are goingto have some problems which we saw some of recently via the Royal Commission into the sexual abuse of children in institutions that attempted to look into those failings. I become more aware of the relevance and importance of some of what I saw and experienced as a result of recording and republishing parts of its livestreams.

I think they are in the throes of another failure, this time with trauma and in particular with complex trauma and that current failing is harmful and damaging to many survivors of traumatic experiences.

Underlying causes or surrounding social context not included in either system

Both the DSM and the ICD focus on overt symptoms, rather than underlying causes or surrounding social context.

As I understand a little of the that history and I know that van der Kolk can and a number of other psychiatrists I believe and and wider medical fields did attempt to present evidence to the American Psychiatric Association in regards to the complexities of childhood trauma particularly when they were finding evidence that was common.

Where do they go?

They go into areas of dissociation and other disorders and but what? They are. And it's not necessarily all evidence-based it's not of it is historic the difficulty. I don't know that with the entire history of every step of the way that has taken place but I do know what we get as an outcome we get a model that is has the first line of treatment that is would refer commonly referred to as a medication model. And it's going to history that goes back into the second world war designer drugs and and further into some of nitrogen's worst and some of the of the world's best attempts to make use of the chemical drugs designer drugs the designer drugs of the seventies. A lot of. Bits and pieces into that mix to the point today where where they're many many many many literally hundreds of different drugs that are entitled to to alleviate the symptoms of depression. And anxiety to that big big ones. And and. Dividing system works just there, you've moved into a procedural test there fifty percent of the people who thanks a down there find something. And those are the people who go looking into what's commonly referred to as the alternative to decide effects. And lifelong medication of the medication. Front line. And and the death is the manual. That that takes you on that journey. The yeah. It seems to be laughing at it it seemed to be lacking a great deal, but there are many many arguments about that. I. I have to say that my own personal journey has found that line of treatment that blinders thinking. To be just horrendous. Horrible. Dangerous. Damaging. It's harmful to individuals. Communities. Whole countries nations and the world. It's it's it's not a successful model. It's a cheap model. And whereas in the old alternative world is trying to look at look after people who are traumatized by a society who feels the need to treat it's ill's chemically. What if depression is a response to adversity and not a brain chemical imbalance? What if anxiety is the body's accumulated learning of engaging with systems of authority? How are those issues to be explored and safeguarded against?
