Default My Biggest Argument......

I am just thinking of what to write about for my English class, this time it is an argumentive paper. I am trying to think of a debatable proposition or claim. Just trying to think of a short sentence which saids the claim.

Quote:
1) My biggest argument is people being given unnecessary psychiatric label. It is bad enough that a person endures something traumatic and then by the psychiatric system given labels such as bipolar, Borderline Personality disorder, and so on. When in fact the person just has emotional difficulty. The system thinks that if we are drugged up that the medications will solve all our problems in reality all it does is cover up the real problem. The system at times can make a person feel like it was their fault that you were abused because your mentally unstable. The system can be doing more harm then good.)

2) My other argument is the lack of inpatient help. In my state the psychiatric hospital, all they do is drug you up and nothing else. When all a person needs a safe place and someone to talk to. Inorder to get help you have to go out of state to get it. There needs to be inpatient trauma unit, where people can feel safe and have therapist to talk with. Instead of being drugged up. I think there needs to be more resources to help people who have experienced psychological trauma (defined as real or perceived loss, abuse, the lacking of something that was once desired, increase fear.) There need to be more resources available and affordable.
