The fact you embrace and accept metabolic damaging substances (all psychiatric substances are) and lack some very critical understanding in mitochondrial DNA damage and ATP production bottlenecks down on the cellular level is fascinating (which were the reason you had manic episodes to begin with if we were to make an educated guess). You are basically digesting and taking substances that further damage you and in the long-term are going to make you even worse. "Meaningful advice" like that is what keeps people enslaved to big-pharma and the largest human enslaved era the human history has ever witnessed.
There's a lot of neat stuff in there but no real conclusions to draw from it beyond a potential avenue for further research. I'd like to see what comes out of it.
Usually beliefs that specific have a source. Knowing a bit about the biology involved, I got curious. In this case, the source was actually interesting and mentioning it might be of value to others.
Sometimes I'll indulge in snide comments but I try not to. They tend to detract from the conversion and the people I'd reply to are usually doing a good enough job of that on their own. ;)
I can tell you that 9 out of 10 physicians (and other HCPs) who have attempted to "treat" me, very definitely found their "medical degrees" in a Cracker Jack box, because the "medical profession" as it is constituted today is the most exploitative, abusive, pseudo-scientific bullshit factories I have ever seen. It doesn't take a "medical degree" to see through their transparent fairy tales that pass as diagnostics and treatments. It's a travesty. Your tax dollars at work.
Fortune tellers and psychopractitioners both come to some very authoritative-sounding, wild conclusions, especially if you're not very articulate or are outright lying to them. Small wonder both are popular with the kids.
The confidence in their own prognoses--despite no concrete evidence whatsoever--is impressive to behold.
Yes indeed; most mental disorders are 100% diagnosed by outward behavior and claims made by the unreliable narrator that is the patient.
Also, I've noticed that psychiatrists use very precise wording to communicate and ask questions, and all their words have very well-defined meanings, but those meanings are elusive to the smartest of mental patients. What does it mean, pray tell, when a physician asks you "are you hearing voices?" How much sleep have you been getting? Oh, you haven't meticulously logged it on graph paper every day for a month? Just estimate your sleep hours, unreliable narrator.
Also, physicians are prohibited from using technical jargon when communicating with patients; they must use layman's terms only. So this leads to a wonderful cornucopia of confusion when your patient is well-informed and educated about the relevant medical terminology, but the doctor can't oblige that mode of communication, and garble garble fluzzle zinko.
Most judgements on me are passed completely based on affect and demeanor. My affect can mean the difference between a cordial 20-minute sit-down with the doc or a 3-week "voluntary, not really" hospital incarceration that will cost $60,000.
I expected no less from this massive propaganda of psychiatric killing that is ongoing. Your comment is a tiny hope in the hell they have created, wish you the best.
It doesn't take a medical degree to conduct information analysis on the whole psychiatric academic industry and field. They just bluntly lie their ass off on a constant basis and all research is mostly manipulated from money-making incentives. The rabbit hole is actually much deeper than that and it boils down to a capitalistic antagonistic society that thrives on making people sick to pump the value of the currency.
I think the best theory we have up to date for mental irregularities is metabolic dysfunction and damage at the cellular level through environmental stress, inheritance preconditions and super-processed foods. Psychology does and can have an impact but it's only a small fraction of the picture. Healing does not take community, you cannot find coherent and healthy community in a fully-antagonistic capitalistic society.
Thank you for this very high quality article and initiative to finally take psychiatry seriously and address all the amount of harm and invalid coercion that fuels the unnecessary suffering of millions.
It is truly unfortunate to see how ignorant and misinformed most of these answers are. First, to understand what is a mental illness we have to deduce strong neuro-biological evidence of the problem and after-so we can proceed with an effective measure, a treatment, that is actually a treatment.
Currently, any kind of psychiatric label is equivalent to archaic prophecies. There's no credible scientific evidence to back up any kind of mental illness diagnostic. It is a facade.
Each and every medication supplied by psychiatrists is not a treatment. It is an inhumane process of complete eradication. Dopamine is a product of hormones among others and it is the core fuel of the brain. Dopamine is the resource with which you anticipate time. Dopamine is the resource with which you can memorize and have a cognitive function as a human being. Dopamine is the reason you have an imagination. Dopamine is the resource that transforms into energy for you to move your body. Shutting it down is nothing but a legal modern euthanasia.
You justify pills for an effective measure, when science itself tends to look towards the gut-microbiome and the inflammation reaching all the way up to the brain. Exact causes are still unknown, but: there are other things one should be treated with, and they are not pills. The ketogenic diet has completely cured people who have been diagnosed as schizo-affective (schizophrenia that is actually worse). People who have been diagnosed as bipolar have also seen tremendous benefits from the ketogenic diet and have been cured. There are many supplements one can use to optimize the overall neuro-biology along with daily routines that reinforce it.
But guess what? No psychiatrist actually pursues those choices, the biggest majority of them are "Here's your pills, next. You don't want them? Let me call the police.". Seeing people treating family members like that is also disheartening. Ignorance got us blind, blind to the madness we as society reinforce and blind to the actual truth.
Calling that a human process is completely ignorant, there's no way for you to know how it is like unless you have studied neuro-biology or you have been under the influence of a dopamine antagonist (commonly known as anti-psychotics).
And let me tell you something, there's nothing worse from seeing your lifetime go by and you being completely unable to live because you got no brain fuel. The worst possible prison is in our brains. Sometimes we build it ourselves, and sometimes other people do. Anti-psychotics is other people. That's how the real trauma occurs. That's how many innocents get "treated" from the society and the psychiatric community.
Putting people on drugs that disable their cognition and brain function and calling it progressively effective is nothing but a crime to me. Have a good day sir.
