If you're at all interested in having an intelligent discussion about "mental illness", and not just spewing some ideologically loaded **** aimed at the professional mental health community...just let me know. For instance...LowIQTrash » 11 Jan 2023, 3:41 am » wrote: ↑ Part 2/2
Alien: What's your take on mental illness? Is there some "solution?"
Me: Society will always have a subset of people who are "mentally ill," but I do not believe current rates of "mental illness" are anywhere close to "natural."
"Psychological stress" is a catch-all term...and the unfortunate aspect is there are thousands of plausible causes. There is no one-size-fits-all; each case should be examined carefully before some kind of implemented solution is devised.
Some mental illnesses are caused by physical factors like deficiencies in Vitamin D3, Vitamin B-12, etc. Our "medical professionals" (courtesy of Rockefeller style medicine to push pills on a stupid/ignorant public) are dissuaded or kept in the dark.
While there is no panacea, some techniques can alleviate mental illness while the person in question tries to "get to the bottom of the issue."
Yoga, being out on some beach in the tropics...some psychedelics can help with mental illnesses (although they are illegal...likely due to lobbying by the companies that produce psychotropic medications + corrupt politicians).
Alien: There are professionals dedicated to "treating" mental illness?
Me: Yes.
Alien: Your take on them?
.................snipped for posting count purposes....................
Alien: Well, speaking to you is giving me the blues...I think I need to hang around "happy go lucky" types before I myself become "mentally ill."
Me: That's a good idea. I approve!
Traditional societies do not have lower rates of mental illness, particularly in the endogenous, genetically driven disorders like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depressive illness. What traditional societies tend to have different ways of treating the mentally ill among them. But those in traditional cultures also have a much lower likelihood of seeking treatment, as treatment often addresses issues that minority traditional societies do not want interfered with by anyone from outside their own culture.
You do what so many others do...you have this thing you want to call "mental illness" and you want to jam every condition and disorder into a single "mental illness" category. You can't do it...and there have to be descriptive labels for various conditions that allow for discussion and treatment of those conditions.
I'm here.
