Sadly, this is how the rest of the world is (not that Yale or any other educational institution should be like this just because the rest of the world is). Mental problems are frowned upon in our society except when they can be used to profit off of people.
There is NO help for people with mental problems, only abandonment and prosecution. Because of legislation preventing discrimination, this is not done overtly and it APPEARS that one can get help from doctors and mental health facilities when in reality these are just the wardens and prisons for those who are labeled as mentally defective. It's obvious that Yale does not care about its students based on Dr. Siggins' behavior, but this is something that one should expect for the rest of one's life.
Best thing to do is to keep quiet and recognize the lack of help. Occasionally, there are doctors and therapists that can help, but mostly they will just try to push drugs.
