Party Vibe

While I agree in principle with what you are saying Pat. I don’t think at any point they describe these conditions as “abnormal behaviour” and this guide is not being produced to stigmatize people with mental health issues.

The point is that narrowing down the specifics of various mental health issues is important for making an accurate diagnosis and therefore being able to select an appropriate form of treatment or support.

It’s actually about giving the best possible care to people with problems.

If people actually cared, then just possibly a lot of conditions wouldn’t happen in the first place?

Every individual mind is different. Every individual life experience is unique.

These fakes need their quackery to give them power. And I despise them for their paintroller efforts.

“Effective treatment” to these fuckers means zombification. “Looks, he’s happy, because he’s not killing himself.”

It’s a book of bullshit and you can quote me on that.

Every individual mind IS different, but we can all face similar problems (mostly because we are forced to behave the way that society tells us, contrary to 145 thousand or so years of human evolution which can create conflicts in our subconscious which in turn can cause us problems).

Being able to identify potentially harmful patterns of thought or being able to release emotions that are seated way down deep in our subconscious can help with many of these problems.

It seems you have been burned (or you know of someone who has been failed by some charlatan therapist) but good therapists don’t just throw drugs at a patient, they use therapeutic techniques to get to the heart of the problem and make things better. There are many successful techniques that can be very helpful to a great many people. Like CBT, NLP, EFT, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. These can be successful in curing many ailments including stress and emotional problems, phobias (including social phobia), addictions, self harming and a great many other conditions that can limit people’s lives in a profound way.

It’s not about being pigeon holed into being a certain type of nutter, it’s about making a quick and accurate diagnosis so that the appropriate treatment can be administered. Long gone are the days of Electro Convulsive therapy and leeches.

“Chemical cures” are just profit margins for pharma companies. It’s not about curing people, it’s about making sure corporate life continues at the expense of real people.

You can sign up to that if you want, I say it’s a lie. A dirty, dirty lie.

am i missing something?… when did you become a rather chrispy arbiter of this issue? x

i dont know much about this but it seems that in the u.s they have many ‘illnesses’ that require many treatments that means more $ for pharms. healthcare is business and ill people = profit = increased gdp. possibly the 2 biggest boost to gdp in u.s are war and ill people? undiagnosed temper tantrums = 0 profit

maybe chrispy, you are looking at this topic through rose tinted glasses due to a love of your profession?

this thread reminded me of this:
