yes the psychiatric industry has spent the last 70 years labeling normal human behaviors as abnormal so they can effectively rob people of their hard earned money,see to it that they dont deal with their own behaviors themselves and get them all hooked on prescription pills after they are convinced that they have a problem..

the fact is psychiatry is nothing more than a sham profession perpetrated on people with weak minds..

so the argument that we all have "diagnosable problems" is laughable IMO..

 

:iagree:

 

Yeah welll...homeboy's wife is an unliscensed therapist and homeboy will be putting said wife through grad school next year to get liscensed.
Bad arguement to pick with this family...
PS-Therapists can't RX drugs...rather they help find feasible solutions to the problems. As a matter of fact my company has a policy against perscribing drugs...so literally all I do is cognitive therapy.

 

I agree with this, but its not that black and white.

It was never the intention of psychiatry to do this if you ask me, and yeah psychiatry has a dark past. Thats because it has evolved from exorcisms and bloodletting, to the understanding we have today of the mind. The current classifications are partly to give drs a diagnostic framework, partly to give the patient an 'answer', and partly for reasons like insurance claims and disability programs.

Just because psychiatry/psychology have been hijacked by the corporate medical establishment, does not invalidate the real nature of psychopathology

Youre right though, we have really tightened the definition of what is normal human behavior here in the postmodern western world. So that many quirky, unique, and creative people end up believing they have a slew of disorders

 

Exactly.
