I'm not, but a quick search tells me the Canadian Journal of Psychology called it "arguably the most serious catastrophe to strike the mental health field since the lobotomy era" and I'll defer to an expert on this.

That's quite a claim. I'm sure the industry generally does not want to stop numbing people with black-box drugs. That's way easier than actually trying to heal people.
