No thanksi.....I enjoy reality

There are problems with how psychiatry is practiced in the US but they are very complicated. One of them is when this bureaucracy is used as a political weapon which is common in societies which are becoming less and less based on laws. This was common in Nazi Germany where Nazi officials could just say that their enemies were mentally ill and put these people in the nut house. Stalin did this quite a bit as did Communist China.

Our problem seems more one of incompetence, the reliance on drugs rather than therapy, poor training of psychiatrists, drug company profits, etc.

EVERYTHING he said was TRUE.

It's a "disease" ONLY when they SAY it's a disease...homosexuality...it's NOT in the DSM. A man who craves sticking his ***** into another man's as$ is perfectly normal...but as someone here said earlier...liking women's feet is a fetish. Really? You don't think that's "just a bit" political?

They don't sent you to the lab for blood work, there's no biopsying...they ask you questions, they look at behavior. Then they label and drug you.

How many boys are labeled ADD for simply being boys cooped up in a quiet classroom for hours on end? That's NOT what boys do...that's what GIRLS do. Women are the teachers, they are girls, they teach the ways girls like to learn. Everyone sitting around listening. Imagining. Boys want to be active, they want to learn by doing. They want to see it, touch it.

That's just a couple of examples.

It's a good and truthful video. The entire "medical industry" is just that...a FOR PROFIT INDUSTRY.

That IS reality...YOU are living a delusion. Believing what those who would profit from your believing them say.

We had two candidates with differing ideas of how this country should progress in the future. Both are considered to have mental deficiencies by the opposing party. Both are considered serial liars. Both wished for radical changes in our country's policies. One promised to balance the budget and reduce the size of the gov. He also promised to end the soon to be defunct Obamacare. He got elected.

The other, was challenged by a socialist and decided to reveal her true socialist nature in order to compete with him. He would have beat her, if not for her campaign corruption and dirty deals. She promised a socialist system but insisted that she would also continue Obama's failed policies. She was exposed for the corrupted criminal she is, but has not yet been indicted. She lost, as she should have in an honest society with justice oriented people.

The choice was two radically different people. Both have been accused of lying. Although, it seems there is some differing opinions as to what constitutes a lie. Trump may have unknowingly put out false information based on what he had heard from flawed sources. That does not mean he lied. It means he was wrong with his facts. Hillary lies purposely and knowingly with intent to deceive. That is the definition of a lie.

Half of the voters (the losers) will be disgruntled and despondent. That does not make it right to hinder government progress. It wasn't right when Obama was elected and it's not right when Trump was elected. Making up lies to support the tale that Trump has any ties to Russia is as bad a any LIE that they believe he has made. There is NO evidence that Trump has an association with Russia. On the other hand, look at political and charity donations that Hillary received. Look at who donated to Obama's campaign. That is evidence. That is evidence that has been discarded due to non-interest.

So, for those liberals that are wishing for something to grab hold of to vindicate your loss......blame Hillary for being such a bad candidate. Blame the DNC for choosing the worst candidate to represent you.

But, who cares? It's over now so get on with your lives. There is nothing that Trump can do that will hurt your livelihood. If anything, you will probably start seeing an improvement, even here.

"Mental disorders" ????? With a candidate like Hillary and observing her antics, you on the left should not be casting stones.

On the contrary, expect to give about 6 vials of blood, and take at least one MRI. They will rule out all possible medical reasons before they're willing to declare a chemical imbalance in the brain.

As for a "biopsy"... WHY in the name of all that's holy would you think that a friggen BIOPSY would indicate a mental illness. A biopsy OF WHAT? The prefrontal cortex? The amygdala? The hypothalamus? The SPLEEN? Man... you certainly are a special potato, aren't you?

There are NO indicators of mental illness to be found in the blood. There is no PHYSICAL thing you can look for to determine mental illness. THAT was the point. There are NO medical tests for mental illness and there ARE for most everything else. There are no PHYSICAL manifestations of disease that can be physically tested for.

Any one who follows Alex Jones and infowars types is sketchy

I'm starting to wonder if the special potatoes on the forum are scientologists.

I don't know, nor can't remember meeting anyone like some of these folks on this forum.

I think I would have just left the room, left the area, left the situation, or would have left the job if I would have had to be in any prolonged contact with this kind of hatred and distrust and misinformation and mental confusion.

I often wonder if we have seen any of their mugshots on the other news source ...arrested for domestic violence???

No. But psychiatry is more of an art than a science and much of it is very culturally driven theory coupled with the greed of drug companies.

Scientologists go way too far with simple minded over-generalizations and poor logic.

It's a "disease" ONLY when they SAY it's a disease...homosexuality...it's NOT in the DSM. A man who craves sticking his ***** into another man's as$ is perfectly normal...but as someone here said earlier...liking women's feet is a fetish. Really? You don't think that's "just a bit" political?

Not to take sides in this because I'm no expert and I don't know. But, homosexuality was considered a mental illness and was listed in the DSM and several courses of treatment were recommended until 1973 when due to political pressure from the gay community it was removed.

There were no tests, no reasons other than empirical evidence. I don't believe that this has ever been the case with any other disease in history.

Again, I don't want to get into an argument over whether homosexuality is a disease or not. I'm simply stating the facts and noting that it was mostly political pressure that caused the removal.

Being gay seems to be biologically driven and is somehow developed in childhood. That is just from my experiences around gay/lesbian people. It is not really chosen.

It has as much to do with mental illness as people liking blondes with Kentucky accents.

You just disqualified your whole comment with the last line.
