Why is it that the most commonly used method to fight neurosis (personality disorders, anxiety disorders and depression) is through medication and therapies that borrow from Psychoanalysis, but do not attack the root cause of mental ailments?
Why is it that therapies like Psychodynamic (direct form of Psychoanalysis) and classical Psychoanalysis, isn't as popular? Why aren't they widely used against these disorders? These therapies attempt to resolve Unconscious conflicts that were never resolved during developmental stages. Therefore becoming a manifestation of the symptom (Depression, GAD, SAD, PTSD).
Wouldn't it make sense to attack the root cause of the problem, instead of masking the symptoms with Medication? As well as Therapies that changes pattern of thoughts, but does not address the issue, since neurosis is the result of maladaptions that occur during childhood?
Because psychoanalysis has no scientific basis. It's literally all made up. You are literally using terms that have no correspondence with reality when you use words like "unconscious" and "developmental stages." These terms have no scientific basis.

Because its all just made up with no backing in evidence. Lot of it is just freud projecting his personal sexual perversion onto everybody else and using it to explain human developement somehow.
