There's no mental illness

Next to military regimes and educational institutions, the mental health system is one of the most fascist, coercive rackets to ever exist.

The mental health system gives mental illness diagnosis codes when people exhibit a certain range of behavior and emotions. The thing is that just about any behavior, pathology, and emotion can give you a mental illness diagnosis.

If you're happy, you're manic. If you're sad, you have depression. If you're angry, you're bipolar etc. After studying the mental illness labels and previous mental illnesses (homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness) I have concluded that there never was any mental illnesses to begin with.

Psychiatry is not only pseudo-science but also one of the most criminal practices ever!

The Mayoclinic's definition for Schizophrenia:

Behavioral: social isolation, disorganized behavior, aggression, agitation, compulsive behavior, excitability, hostility, repetitive movements, self-harm, or lack of restraint.

Cognitive: thought disorder, delusion, amnesia, belief that an ordinary event has special and personal meaning, belief that thoughts aren't one's own, disorientation, memory loss, mental confusion, slowness in activity, or false belief of superiority

Mood: anger, anxiety, apathy, feeling detached from self, general discontent, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, elevated mood, or inappropriate emotional response

Psychological: hallucination, paranoia, hearing voices, depression, fear, persecutory delusion, or religious delusion
Speech: circumstantial speech, incoherent speech, rapid and frenzied speaking, or speech disorder

Also common: fatigue, impaired motor coordination, or lack of emotional response.

Do you see all of the contradictory conditions? Let's review them again.

Behavioral: social isolation, disorganized behavior, aggression, agitation, compulsive behavior, excitability, hostility, repetitive movements, self-harm, or lack of restraint

Cognitive: thought disorder, delusion, amnesia, belief that an ordinary event has special and personal meaning, belief that thoughts aren't one's own, disorientation, memory loss, mental confusion, slowness in activity, or false belief of superiority
Mood: anger, anxiety, apathy, feeling detached from self, general discontent, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, elevated mood, or inappropriate emotional response.

Psychological: hallucination, paranoia, hearing voices, depression, fear, persecutory delusion, or religious delusion
Speech: circumstantial speech, incoherent speech, rapid and frenzied speaking, or speech disorder

Also common: fatigue, impaired motor coordination, or lack of emotional response.

So anger, fatigue, anxiety, depression, fear, or lack of emotional response are symptoms of schizophrenia but you're also schizophrenic when showing elevated mood, excitability, aggression, and repetitive movements?

Many of these conditions are contradictory! How can you have these conflicting emotional states and still be diagnosed with the same illness?

If apathy is schizophrenic then excitablity would be non-schizophrenic, right? However according to the DSM one is still schizophrenic even if one is both apathetic and/or showing excitability.

One is still schizophrenic if having fatigue and/or repetitive movements. One is still schizophrenic for showing slowness in activity and/or aggression.

They even have a mental illness for people who can't do math as well.

Dyscalculia
en.m.wikipedia.org...

Dyscalculia is difficulty in learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, learning how to manipulate numbers, and learning facts in mathematics. - wiki

So I guess if you can't do math then you're mentally ill? Do they have a pill for that too?

Homosexuality was too used to be a mental illness until 1973
psychology.ucdavis.edu...

In 1973, the weight of empirical data, coupled with changing social norms and the development of a politically active gay community in the United States, led the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). - UCDavis

Speaking of homosexuality, if it wasn't for this genius you and I wouldn't be on the very computers that we are using right now.

Even former psychiatrists like Thomas Szasz are becoming anti-psychiatry.

Why do people keep supporting this criminal mental health practice? The current system in general?

You probably have not seen someone smearing their own stools on the walls while scratching their heads with the other hand to the point the skull is exposed...

a reply to: supermilkman

I've known people with real mental illness where their reality was not the same as mine. 1000s of black widows running over the floor to kill her that her husband set out as a trap..

but on the whole I think people are way over diagnosed mainly as a tool to harvest money..

Like growing a herd of people addicted to SSRIs...

I've experienced all ranges of human emotion but no one thinks of me as crazy even though my ranges are higher than others.. And the reason for that is I am responsible and "level headed" I make sense even when I seem over excited or under sxcited..

mostly people are "crazy" when they can't handle their emotions.

so in that sense I completely agree,

I jsut don't want to rule out ALL mental illness.
we counting autism?
my second grade class had a "joined class" that would sometimes come over of 6 kids who never learned to talk.. had no idea what social norms were including peeing in the middle of the classroom.. They had some mental illnesses.

Good research and everything else, milkman.

I'll bite. The reason certain people support this criminal
enterprise is maybe because invented disorders, and the
mandated/dictated 'medications' and 'therapy' are the
biggest cash cows since chemo and radiation.

With a little over 40% of the US population now on some form
of pill, that's a lot of windshield wipers for the Mercedes.
And crak n really good looking floozies-- bringing in slabs of
Angus Prime rib eye of fat bigger than both their hoo ha's.

It's good being King. I ain't him by the way.

EDIT: PS: it's also the fattest and most irreproachable control
mechanism since religion. Oh wait, Trotskyites WORSHIP Freud.

Those are behavioral problems, not mental illness.

There are other variables that are not being considered when diagnosing such as a person's diet, nutritition, educational level, whether they're malnourished, got sick from some other unrelated infection, drug interactions, lifestyle choices, brain damage etc.

What an ignorant statement, enjoy your irrational thread.

The mental health system rejects the person's religious beliefs. Many believe in the paranormal/spirit world so why should they be considered hallucinations? Linear science is proving that paranormal phenomena such as telepathy exists.

Secret military experiments have used remote viewing for years.

As for autism it's all BEHAVIORAL problems. People are considered retarded when they don't reach certain milestones in development (i.e. bed wetting in your 20's, playing with toddler toys into adult hood etc.)

You don't correct these problems with mental illness labels and brain damaging medicine, you correct them through behavioral and occupational therapy. You teach one more acceptable behavior, not force feed them pills.

Hey Supermilkmas: I have to say that I have shared this philosophy over the years many times. You cannot be healthy or well adjusted, simply, in a sick society. Therefore, all the MMPI's and other psychological testing really mean nothing.
We've simply become a "slotting" paradigm, where we are expecrted to follow others, behavior, thinking, creativity, etc.'

However, have you considered there are myriad possibilities attendant and aggregate of, for lack of a better phrase, mental health issues? Mind and body are connected. WE are only recently understanding the working of the brain, it's chemical composition, its interatction with the environment and public......not to mention, and I will just allude to this because it's one of the those things that cannot be said in 2017: what if[/b[i/] there was technology that was designed to either experminet due to pharmocology, insurance counsling and addiction,e tc. You bet the picure and even stated it in your OP: there is tremendous money to be made in our sickness.
