Abstract

In recent years, there have been many innovative changes in the field of mental illness. The field has generated numerous creative ideas that help to expand our understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Unfortunately, some ideas are best viewed as passing fads that display a characteristic sudden rise in popularity, only to disappear after a brief period of fame and acclaim. The present manuscript confronts several recent and historical fads in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Instead of seeking novel approaches, mental health professionals are best guided by common sense and modest skepticism.
