RE: Homosexuality was a Disease: Industrial Psychiatry Defrauds and Harms Everyone
Nice post, so you are saying that some people who may have "mental illness" may just be an expression of variety in humans just as with homosexual are just a different expression of sexuality?
Precisely. You nailed it.
People from the autism community have a word for this; they call themselves "neurodivergent." This is a term that encapsulates everyone who is simply genetically different and gifted. Now, there are actually medical conditions that can present as "mental illness," such as neurosyphilis, but most of what we call "mental illnesses" are just subjective evaluations of behavior we see as odd or dislike.
