RE: Homosexuality was a Disease: Industrial Psychiatry Defrauds and Harms Everyone

in #psychology8 years ago

Hey Sterlin, good to see your posts are picking up some momentum.

I've had a conversation a few times that goes like this:
"How do you know ADHD/depression/manic-depression is caused by a cerebral chemical imbalance?"
"Well, I researched it."
"But did they do any chemical tests?"
"They did behavioural tests."
"So how do you know you have a chemical imbalance?"

Of course, it's very rare that people can formulate a clear answer to that line of questioning.

In Australia, many people use the socialised health system, and because the government pays the doctors for the number of patients, not the quality of consultations, it can provide an incentive to give drugs to as many patients as possible. Naturally, some sort of psychotherapy or CBT, or something else, could be much more beneficial.

I shared this on Facebook, and I also added you to a couple of Steem groups on there to help promote your posts.

Awesome, sir. Thanks for the support. I am glad I had a community base to help me get this kicked off, w d so far my posts are performing well.

To your comment, I am a firm believer that psychotherapy is the best approach for issues regarding mental distress. As you eloquently pointed out, there is no way to determine a chemical imbalance. That idea is a debunked bit of psychiatric Woofuckery.
