Psychologists Debunk 25 Mental-Health Myths

Theres also more men who are addicts. Hard to be depressed if your high or thinking obsessively about using and getting everyday.

It's not that "bad" parenting causes mental illness but the fact that parents pass on their own particular brand of dysfunctional behaviors to their children. Examples of this are learned behaviors like racial prejudice, drug addiction(80% of addicts have a chemically dependent parent), borderline personality disorder, etc.. The parental dysfunction manifests itself in the child in varying degrees and form. It's the story of the human condition.

🙄 I find it super cute that these mental health myths? They wouldn’t have existed this long in the first place, to then be “conveniently” debunked. And by whom? The very institutional system itself. The institutionalized mental health system. There would be no myths to have been believed long enough in the first place. To then just be debunked. Not if the mental health system didn’t exist in the first place. It’s cute. The way that it’s designed to be this institution profiting off of the minds that believe it at all. To then come in after how long? And say. By the way? Everything that we fed to you guys? A lot of it isn’t true. And those DSM codes? In the now DSM-V? They’re over 450. Diagnosis and disorders.

It makes you wonder. How sick a person actually be in their head? When most of the symptoms that might be even for 5 of those? Are relatively similar and synonymous.

Nobody in or out of their right and left brain and mind can be that level of sick to then expect to escape that kind of psychological entrapment.

Not when you have maybe 5 different cooccurring symptoms? And they’re synonymous to how many different disorders and diagnosis? To notice the pattern?

You can’t escape that. It’s designed to make you sick. You cannot escape a sickness unless you don’t entertain sickness. Especially not your mind. Your mind is more vulnerable to belief than your body is. Don’t listen to people who will prey off of that. The difference between someone in psychiatry and that wolf? They will prey on your mind and how vulnerable it is if you let them in.The wolf will just eat you if it can get away with it. You’d just have to be in the wild. And either lucky and unlucky enough to encounter a wolf to be its meal. Not a psychiatrist’s office or on the psychologist’s couch.

Who designed the myth in the first place.?

Get out of here, trying to get people to buy into that. Get out of their heads.

Like you actually have any business, trying to prey upon someone’s vulnerability in their head. Predatory much? Predation much? Super dangerous. Big red flag. Dangerous.

Without the mental health system?

There would be no myths for mental health “professionals“ to even come in and debunk.

Let alone the mental health system. Leave it to that system to institutionalize people into their frame of mind set to fit their narrative. Narcissism much? Psychopathy much? Sociopathy much? Dark triad much? Dark tetrad much? Talk about Machiavellian. You wanna go there? Do you wanna go to Sadism? You’re already there. Right along with your psychiatrist and your psychologist. To have some form of narcissism. To have to project and displace that onto their patient. Because they don’t wanna do the work as a patient themselves. They don’t wanna be in that patient chair. As if they’re not susceptible to the same things.

And that’s if they already weren’t in that chair of the psychiatrist’s office or on the couch of the psychologist themselves at one point .

What is the real myth here?

That DSM V handbook?
It’s basically a Bible for any psychologist and psychiatrist. I almost pity anybody who allows themselves to be sucked into that swill. Long enough to pay someone to feed them poison in a bottle. And to maybe pay them to listen to their problems for 45 minutes to maybe an hour and a half at most if you pay really good money. With or without insurance to cover the cost and a co-pay without some kind of deductible afterwards.

The mental health system is not in the business of helping people get better. They’re not in the business of wellness. They are in the business of the illusion of that. The illusion of wellness. The illusion of feeling well enough. Just long enough before you need to go back in to the psychiatrist and a psychologist for that prescription and therapy session.

They are about as in the business of wellness is Starbucks is in the business of coffee. Coffee? Or the illusion of coffee? Wellness and getting better? Or the illusion of wellness and getting better. Right before you have to go back and get your caffeine and your therapy session right after your psychiatric poison prescription in a bottle appointment .

Don’t allow an idea to go onto your head. To think that you need it in the first place. And then maybe?

There would be nothing to be so rampantly believed that the very people from these institutions had to come in to say, what’s being said here.

You try going on the medication that is prescribed to people by psychiatrist’s and through recommendation of the psychologist, they are probably sleeping with. If not literally. Metaphorically. Being in the same field, line of work, or bed to mutually benefit. That’s a symbiotic relationship if I’ve heard one. Not a natural one. Still symbiotic..

But go on those pills psychiatrist. Go on those pills psychologist. You take them.

You tell me.
Tell your patience after taking them .

Just long enough.
And then tell me how you feel afterwards.

You tell me if that doesn’t dull your personality.

As if it doesn’t affect your personality. You are lying to yourself. I would say that if you believe that before you even try it yourself? You’re not a psychologist. You’re just a psycho. Pretending to be psychic. And doing a really poor job about it. I would rather go to a medium or even a Gypsy. With or without a crystal ball to get a tarot reading.

My deck does me better than prescriptions. That’s for sure.

That’s better than the illusion of getting well.

Do mental health professionals truly want people to get well? Because if they do? Suddenly?

You’re out of patients.
Then you’re out of a paycheck.
You have to be some level of mental illness yourself to buy into whatever you’re trying to sell to people.

Maybe those people just need the people that claim they care about them to actually listen to them so they can actually show they care.

Maybe the people that say they love someone and that tell people they care about them?

But never show up to mean it?

Maybe they just need to be the people to sit down and listen rather than tell their loved ones to go to a psychologist and a psychiatrist because what?

They are not qualified?

As if you need to be a qualified individual to be a decent human being. To really care about someone and not just pass them off and dismiss them as a problem to go to a professional.

This is a joke. It’s not even a funny one. I could’ve done better. If this is the part where I’m supposed to believe this beyond passé lackluster logic?

It makes it too easy to want to go to Wondeland. The thought of going into a psychotherapist’s office as a patient in need of therapy to then cross examine them rather than being cross-examined myself?

That’s entertainment.

They wouldn’t want someone like myself as a patient. I promise you that. Keep believing whatever you’re going to believe people. Just don’t be surprised when 20 years down the line you’re told.

Yeah sorry about that. Most of what we might as well have perpetuated and made up in the first place is a myth.

You are dismissed now.

Cute 🥱

Soft White Underbelly did an interview with a clown that has OCD and if you watch what he has to go through every single day, you will realize that calling someone who is clean an OCD is as ignorant as calling a horse a donkey.

no way these people are actually psychologists

i think comparing mbti with astrology is a huge mistake, and she doesn´t even know about the letters, she is judging without having a deep notion of mbti. Yeah maybe it is not empiric science, but doesn't mean that is useless.

Some people with OCD are the complete opposite of “neat freaks.” In fact, Hoarding disorder is often associated with OCD.

my psych prof made me watch this for class

on the topic of therapy being expensive, I've seen 3 therapists at a clinic near me who accept my government insurance and they are the best therapists I have/had the pleasure of working with. Mental health doesn't discriminate by tax bracket and neither should therapists

I like this guy I needed this

Is this still true after corona virus covid? 2024-0126

I'm so depressed that I don't have a trillion dollars in my bank account! 😂

Mental health is over hyped BS! Most people need a kick on their back, walk 2-3 km, exercise, eat a healthy diet, listen to music, have good friends, and enjoy life in general. They will be okay!

As per the mental health definitions, I would have killed myself a long, long time ago. I'm alive, happy, and content without a fat bank account, but with more peace, good health, and a happy family. 🎉😊🎉

I been afaid to tell my therapist because I'm afraid that they will put me somewhere

The first woman is wrong.
The term "neat freaks" refers to people who are not just neat, or tidy, they are freakishly neat, or abnormally neat, which would classify it as an obsessive trait.
There is no sense watching a "debunk" video when the first case was not debunked.

You censor comments if those comments debink your myths presented here.

Therapists are trained to…manipulate you.

Well they present these as myths but there are no sources that prove what they are saying in this video so like is this a reliable source?

Anyone causing violence has an issue, call it what you want

Let's bow our heads for those who can't afford therapy

The explanation for why homosexuality is not a mental disorder is great, we realise is not updated 😂😂😂

THIS. I WISH you had them touch more on Eating Disorders. Wanna know my current diagnosis? Depression & Anxiety (childhood sexual abuse and during pregnancy my son and I died almost twice) Body Dysmorphia, Anorexia, oh and recently found out I have a crippling chronic nerve pain to top off everything else. I’m so tired of people being to naive when it comes to hearing these terms in pop culture because I’m seeing the changes it makes in people when you try to open up about your struggles your told to, “Just be happy, and it’s not the end of the world.” Or “You’re not physically incapable of walking, how can you possibly have serve nerve pain?”

The stigmas around Mental Health needs to stop, I’m looking at ALL generations it’s society’s fault that we are view as less important.

So it turns out that mental illness distinguishes from “i feel so” only because of ethics fashion and pressure from influential social groups

But dysphoria is what makes you transgender right…? The only other reasons to claim a trans identity are ideological not scientific, so I guess you're right.

Sorry. Have to disagree with the gent that said we shouldn't "traumatize" bad parents for being bad parents. Of course it scales from mildly abusive to overtly abusive, as well as willing to change which also will scale similarely. There are more than a small novellas list of reasons children, and adult survivors, will readily give for why their lives could've been better if even 1 person called their parents on their bs. Parents that refuse to admit fault and work to change their behaviour(s), shouldn't be parents. Let's use narcissists as an example. If you're unlucky to have a parent on the narcissism spectrum, good luck growing up without mental damage. Physical damage as well if they're an overt narcissist.
Parents should always be held to task if anyone witnesses abuse, whether mental or physical, be it a stranger or someone they know. Given the echo chamber ideologies that are rather popular in modern society, that rarely happens. The saying that a "village raises a child", although seemingly trite, is true to some extents.
