We need to revive the antipsychiatry movement. The article hits hard because for way too many years I was caught up in this shit myself, first as the teen (self-diagnosing before social media, based on books), then as parent. Now I tell my kid differently, but hell they’ve convinced so many of us that everything is fine and it’s us who have a problem.
Yikes
Would you like to elaborate?
Your stance, as I read it, is that mental healthcare only exists to make people accepting of large scale societal issues, and that those issues are the true cause of metal health disorders.
That’s a pretty serious conspiracy theory on a whole branch of medicine coming from someone who clearly has no expertise on the topic. This is the mental health equivalent of being an anti-vaxer. It shows a deep lack of understanding of your own privilege and the actual mental health struggles people have.
