It can be quite a lot of work for other family members. But not for NOTHING. I am also not so sure that psychiatry is past its infancy so far. They know so little about the human mind. They can often address the symptoms of mental disease with chemicals but not get at the causes of this mental illness.
And there is also that political element of those with more power labeling undesirables as "mentally ill". That happens a lot in many parts of the world and especially over history.
The families though usually know a lot more about the behavior of other family members unless hidden like with my brother-in-law Jim. He was quite careful about whom he said stuff to in many settings.
