People watching this must watch the movie Hereditary and the explanation for it. It happens because no one around the people "diagnosed" admit to what they've done wrong to them and in many cases still do. If they give up the brain disorder thing the truth will come out that family, friends, community and over all society is at fault. They are driving people mad with their lies and their abuse altering people's minds with substances which is in fact, torture.

Exactly thats why therapy is effective and the pills are just a way to put bandaids on the societal and familial disorder which causes these conditions. The real illness starts with society and or family abuse.

I'm convinced that she made my kid's mom mentally unwell and continues to exacerbate her symptoms on purpose because she likes having her sick - like some sort of Munchausen by proxy but with mental illness.

Mental illness comes from trauma, simple as that. So many people are unaware of their trauma, they believe that had "happy childhoods" with "good, supportive parents", but when they look into it, usually in therapy, their mental illness symptoms were trauma responses that helped them survive a childhood full of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. It doesn't even have to be dramatic trauma. When you're an infant, even small things are very often the worst thing that's ever happened to you at that point, and that trauma stays with you into adulthood. But of course, psychiatry has no interest in this because there is no money to be made by encouraging people to reconnect and eventually resolve their unresolved childhood traumas that are behind their mental illnesses. Convince them that their brain is broken for life and sell them medication to numb their inner pain, it's truly sickening.

[@herbertgoldstein1156]

i agree. for my part before i took my first antidepressant it was pretty clear for me that they wont solve my problems. I only wanted to numb my feelings as fast as possible

[@mohsingillani8253]

Interesting points. Trauma does cause it for some people. I started to research mental illness a few years ago and what i've realised is that the industry is in a crisis of language itself. That's the biggest problem. A person who has the so called disease "depression" may have it for a genuine reason, they may have a financial problem or some other issue that is disturbing themselves on the inside. Psychiatry just slaps a label on them and throws them a pill. Another person may have it because of their poor diet. It's too individual. You have to go on a journey and love yourself. Mental illness can be caused by something non-physical or something physical as the professor stated. I think it's time we stop using the terms "Mental Illness". Why? because so much of the cause is from external factors and other sources. Your mind is just a place where thoughts are manifested. The answers to these labels I believe are there you just have to go to resources like this video.

[@angusorvid8840]

Psychiatry is a pseudoscience pioneered in the west, designed to adjust its subjects to the norms of western societies. It has also been used to turn people into pariahs in both the west and the east. To buy into it you must hold two contradictions in perfect tension, which is impossible: 1) There is an agreed upon norm, and people must be adjusted to it. 2) There is no universal blueprint for the mind. The brain itself is still being studied, and although vast amounts of research have revealed how the brain works, the concept of the mind, in psychiatry, is treated as an operating system for the brain as a computer.

[@mkaz3997]

@Twelfth NN I suspect the discrediting of the western model of psychiatry has little to do with comments on a you tube video and a great deal more to do with the effectiveness ( or otherwise) of modern western treatment regimens as they pertain to mental health issues.

[@nunisthathigh4825]

Yeah, also a lot of the claims in psychiatry is designed to criminalize enlightenment. How could you do this? Call it crazy, call it "mental illness". You wake up to the holographic coding nature of reality? Derealization. You shed off the ego to your actualized consciousness? Towards the third eye writing of your own script? Depersonalization. And by doing this, any metaphysical psychology angles of enlightenment are cast off as mentally ill. Psychiatry has money invested in itself, psychoanalysts want to sell sessions and big pharma wants their psychiatric drug cuts. And the irony is in psychiatry's contradictions. If you're "addicted to drugs" it's considered a mental illness. Their solution is to sell you their "psychiatric drugs". And no one in the psychiatric field ever considers alcohol to be a drug, considers caffeine, processed sugar, Monster energy drinks and cigarettes to be a drug. Other than their financial interests that's the other thing psychiatry and big pharma protects. The system. And the drug war and the system go hand in hand like peas in a pod.

Let me use an analogy here: Let's say your TV set gives you an insufficient picture. Yes, maybe there's something wrong with it. You could disassamble it and look where the cause lies, and maybe you can find and repair it. But the picture might still be off. Then, you would surely come to the conclusion that there also could be something wrong with the transmission signal, and that the problem is not in your TV set itself. If you don't come to that conclusion, you could "repair" the thing forever and ever, and it will never get better.

[@kareendeveraux1847]

@@swolfe9668 Totally agree, but sometimes you don't know or can't remember where the hurt comes from. It's sometimes carried through generations and passed on to the child. It's not in the consciousness and those traumas are the most problematic ones to figure out. You can't forgive or let go of hurt you are not aware of. And that's also a problem psychologists/psychiatrists don't understand anymore. Psychiatrists just monitor for symptoms and hope drugs make them disappear. And psychologists just work with what is in the consciousness and don't go deeper anymore plus they pathalogize human expressions. The dsm/icd is counterproductive. Plus many of the so called professionals have a superiority complex and cause even more hurt by victimization/infantilization/retraumatization. The whole system with its dehumanization also causes mental illnesses itself. I don't believe that all of the professionals have bad intentions. The knowledge they have been indoctrinated is based on max. money making by keeping people sick and stuck. They've been lied to and think it's normal. There's no money in healed people.

We hear about psychotic breaks in the early 20’s of some people. Why is that. I have seen it in my family.

[@katieandnick4113]

Could be the transition from living with family to living with, essentially, strangers or alone. Loss of a support system or, the complete opposite, the realization that their family wasn’t as great as they thought, and because their identity was built around being part of that family, now they don’t know who they are. Either way, humans are not supposed to leave their families/tribes, like, ever. Especially if they are female. And if we do, the new people we meet are supposed to be very similar to our family because there isn’t supposed to be so much variation in human personality/temperament. When everyone lives in pretty much the same way, everyone turns out pretty much the same. In order to form bonds with people, we have to feel that we know them very well, and this simply can’t happen given the way we live now. We all live way too differently. If we don’t feel that we know a person, we can’t trust them, and if we can’t trust them, we can never feel safe.

That's the thing--there definitely is a connection between mental illness and brain diseases or neurological disorders, but the industry is looking at it all backward. Epilepsy was considered a mental illness for a long time before clinical psychology and modern neurology split on account differing philosophy on medicine rather than science. The medical industry is too fixated on the drug-centered model for medicine as opposed to a disease-centered model. Unfortunately, the latter is not as profitable as the former.

He's wrong about people having strange thoughts and speaking to themselves. People just do that when they have alot of built up stress from the brain observing patterns.

If people are able to say what they truly think, around their families or friends, they wouldn't walk around mumbling to themselves. Thomas Szasz also said abnormal behavior is an individual crying out for something they're missing or experiencing in life.

[@maxaffe3195]

hey nice to hear: i wrote about the same: "His term of "brain damage" is far too vague. Many years ago there was no MRI, then there was better MRI, but now we know that e.g. an PET-MRI can detect brain defects a MRI cannot see. Years ago no one knew about autoantibodies like Anti-NMDA in the brain. On cell based assays, these can be negative and you can better detect them on tissue-based assays. Highly speculative to think there is not a single organic component. Even talking about a bad life and trauma, there are epigenetic modifications that happen because of stress. In the end, of course it is in the brain and organic. No one can even be depressed without a brain. In many years he will talk about other aspects like he talked about "brain damage" and epilepsy. Especially interesting considering that epilepsy was once regarded as a psychiatric condition. And now he does the same on a broader scale and with other conditions like depression and anxiety. This is bad since all these conditions are a list of symptoms (syndromatic) that do not take etiology in account. This makes research hard because they all subsume the different etiologies under terms like "depression", "anxiety" etc. I do not mean that life events do not play a role or that people cannot be sad. He is so far behind it is insane. Him describing syphilis as the only thing they found out is wrong. It is also wrong that he said that there was a lot of research about the causes. There was not. And that is the problem. Next to syphilis researchers found out about isolated psychiatric Lupus, they found out about SREAT, MS-depression/psychosis and all these new autoantibody-related diseases. They are even unknown autoantibodies that target different brain epitopes. If you cannot detect something now, does not mean it is not there. There are also studies that show that speech therapy works differently and actually effects the brain and changes DNA-Methylation. AND: Of course people feel bad because their life is bad or something really bad happened to them..."

[@DK-tq3fy]

The issue is they lied and said they had found the cause when they all knew there was a glaring lack of evidence for the chemical imbalance theory. Perhaps they can find something in the future future but they are not even attempting to. The majority of people would not fall into the category you stated but will be treated as of they do.

So, we can have differences and problems with every other part of our bodies - our eyes, our bones, our muscles, our hearts - but not with our brains, the most complex of all? It's not possible that parts of the brain in some people might not work perfectly, but some people might be more vulnerable to heart disease or cancer or balding? Two things can be true at the same time - society and trauma and stress and suffering can contribute to psychological disorders AND some people may be more vulnerable to them. This is, just by the way, exactly what research shows and no competent psychiatrist - unless they are trying to dumb down a far more complex answer for a patient - really thinks of any disorder as a "chemical imbalance." Do brain chemicals contribute to mood and psychosis... without question. Does stress impact brain chemistry... without question. It's also possible that brain chemistry impacts mental disorders AND that "Big Pharma" - like many corporations - try to oversell drugs and take advantage of the public.

The rich say we are schizophrenic for exposing corruption in the world

There is some truth to this, but for the most part, I disagree. Chemical imbalances absolutely do exist in people with perfectly good childhoods and families.

This has never been proven. Look in the literature and you will see it for yourself. Psychiatry itself doesn’t even believe in chemical imbalances. www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/psychiatrys-new-brain-mind-and-legend-chemical-imbalance

Utter nonsense. Science doesn't lie. There are no chemical imbalances in the brains of anyone.

[@allaamrauf8214]

Have you got any evidence for this? Lol

[@Afura33]

This has never been proven my friend, this is just a theory they are working with until they find a better one, but since this theory brings so much money I highly doubt that they are ever going to give up on this theory.

Even the relatively greatest parents can’t ensure that their children won’t end up mentally ill due to the influence of wider society. So I absolutely agree that kids with “good” families can still become mentally ill. In fact, it may be more common for kids from “good” families to become mentally ill because their parents don’t desensitize them to such an extent that they become, in effect, “robots” for society. If a kid comes from a very abusive family, he/she becomes desensitized very early and goes on a sort of permanent state of autopilot. They are not observant nor perceptive, and they lack empathy for other people. They are often fueled by self hatred to become “successful” by societal standards also. Kids who come from homes in which they felt safe will be very observant and empathic, as well as in touch with their emotions. In a very sick society, these relatively healthy children seem the most out of place.
