The Myth of Mental Illness

The doctor's weren't groovin my vibes so they put me on anti-psychotics

One of the issues I have with modern psychiatry is that it is all deficit-based. I am starting to think more along the lines that with what may be called a disorder in some, may actually just be neurodiversity. Maybe we're supposed to have different brains, that function differently. Maybe society shouldn't be "one size fits all" but rather, we should create the kind of society where all kinds of minds are welcome and can thrive.

I’ve been saying this for years. I’m glad the narrative is finally changing!

Since this discussion has been about the environment that changes mental health. My thing on this is that how people effect people that go through trauma or hurt by the hands of "ordinary citizens" that have no interest, be apathetic and at time callous in their behaviour amongst the agreed group of people that often form narratives, when you think about it, if it was written by some and you watched on the TV, most of the situations are filtered to make them look good and others look like anti-social themes nonsense in their character, accepted but always tripping to say the wrong thing. And always gourded to point out a logical answer.
I've seen these TV shows that try to say about life in the uk, heartbeat or other shows or just how people see other people, as not there or just outdated.
I seen countless videos on youtube but it always makes other people a straight face agent too the narrtive or a reason why people that want to connect, to imply they are responsible walking away from them.
The "fact of life argument" like splatting tape on a crack with water coming out to cover it up, only ignores it, seemingly repeatedly with duck tape of "it's a fact of life argument" when the person themselves has been affected by "the appropriate people" in the governing society. Understand it, but more compliant, although they would do that to someone aswell in they felt uncomfortable, a social unwritten rule is upheld and respected, in all matters and means.
"You just don't have self respect." Which only implies others that were responsible and did hurt are not disrespecting others?
In the workplace and what has been normalised is a sense of hustle culture.
Our mental health is not only residing on our mind itself that came out of nowhere.

"The Myth of Mental Illness" implies it isn't real. Clearly it is. And not one word about sex? Still in denial of Freud? I got your "matrix of connections between brain, body, and world" right here!

Its called neoliberal metaphysics. Saying « the problem is your whole responsibility », while ignoring the entire environment.

What mental (mal?)-function requires read text to be 'lubricated' by musical accompaniment?
Personally I just don't hear the text, so, sorry, bye bye…

I have adhd and autism. I've had mental health issues for most of my life. I think my chronic depression might be somewhat natural for me but the rest of my mental illnesses have been directly or indirectly caused by me neglecting myself and what I need trying to become like something I'm not (a neutypical). No one directly forced me to do most of it, but I internalized so much of the negative things said to me because of my different behaviour I was convinced acctually being myself wasn't an option in the first place

Yes 😊😅😂🎉
Ponderous 😊

1:55 it's this that describes the necessity for neurology and psychology to come together, and I really think the key to that is the neurologists of the future understanding that everyone's brain develops differently. Go read "The Neurology of You". Amazing book, can help you understand neuroscience while also helping you realize that everyone is different.

I have 9, DSM-5 disorders. I was diagnosed with 4 since first grade. I’m a unique, electric, highly intelligent person. There is nothing “wrong” with me, I just don’t fit the societal norms. Some of us just CANNOT follow the rules.
