However, those chosen often believe that they can instead do anything they want, forming elite influence networks to do exactly that--such beliefs and activities cause mental illness among the general populace. 681496@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:42:24 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/13/125148.php#comment-681424 Geez, glad you brought up the subject in this modern day and age. Christ, the world of psychiatry and therapy is so cro-mag. OK, let me say that there are a few good people in the current industry, but for the most part it is criminal. I say that because hhhmmm...I guess it comes down to the ego of the people surrounding the so-called mentally ill person. Psychiatry sure seems like a cottage industry of the pharmacy world. You will find that a lot of therapists are just messed up people that get into the industry to 'help' people. Sociopaths like Joe mentioned above, will target environmentally damaged people, whose mental illness is actually not that bad, to be a friend. As you mentioned, Joe's sociopathy prevents him from having real friends (for good reason). So by shoving the targeted person further and further into the mental illness label, a very sick control is created....ugh! The targeted person only becomes worse in a reactive way, therefore validating the 'mental illness' false label. Anyway, mental illness has to do with the mind. Very few in the industry actually know anything about the flow of the mind of the individual. A generic paint brush of assessment is usually the result. The misuse of knowledge and law as a tool of oppression. OK, I could go on, but that is enuf for now... Stand Up!!

People with psychiatric diagnoses are capable of speaking for themselves, all else is hubris. 680286@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Dec 2007 01:07:11 EST
