I'm sick of all these people claiming to be mentally ill. The label gets thrown around so much it doesn't mean anything.
Is mental illness real or just a ploy by big pharma?
Should "mentally ill" people be given compassion or tough love?
Should people even care in the first place?

It depends on the type of mental illness. Some of them are very real. Look up Paranoid Schizophrenia, those people get vivid hallucinations, often terrifying.
>Yes it's a thing.
>Is big pharma taking advantage? Fuck yeah
So is India pharma
I knew this one guy who thought his family were eating him alive while they were standing right infront of him, not even touching him. He said "I can feel you eating me" and got violent. He went to a hospital and I never saw him again. If you've seen a real mental illness first hand, you don't question whether they exist.
so which ones are real and which ones are BS?
i have seen mental illness firsthand. i was diagnosed.
but then im getting my shit together and my life improved.
so i dont know if mental illness is real or i was just a weak shit
Mental health is very real, just like 'body' health is and it can get better or worse at times, depending on your own natural fortitude and your experiences and environment
You can be in a bad mental shape without being branded with illness, while still showing concern and trying to minimize stress and nervous fatigue
They should take tons of psychedelics at least 100 times and then have it change them forever. They experimented with people with autism with LSD in the 60s and it worked.
Well when you really get down to it %99.9 of them are social and techinically not a mental illness since the entire society is mentally ill. Most of the ones that are real are organic meaning that they originate on their own or are caused by injury or physical damage. All of these can be seen on a CAT or MRI scan. That isnt to say that the state of a persons mind and brain arent real.. You can have someone who has abnormal psychology and their brain is like that.. Likewise most people who are normal are sick as fuck, a similar thing is going on there.. I guess they call that pathology yet they conviently leave all logic open to what is socially normal which invalidates the legitimacy of whole fucking feild.
All forms of mental illness is demonic oppression.
Science and x-rays can tell you what's happening in the brain, but they can't tell you what's causing it.
Some mental illnesses are caused by your environment. If you have a particularly shitty life, you're probably going to be labled with "depression" and given meds. Once your life stops being shit, but you're still depressed, then it's probably called "clinical depression". There's also things like inheriting phobias from parents through referencing.
thank you.
i dont understand though how come teenagers get diagnosed with lots of mental illnesses when it could just be puberty.
meanwhile ;people in poverty or old people rarely are diagnosed for anything, except for senility.
yeah that's what im wondering too.
everyone i meet is a bit "psycho" to some extent or another.
what is "normal" anyway? it doesn't seem like it exists.
Normal is just the average. No individual is normal. Normal is an aggregate.
yeah i got exorcised once and it actually did a lot of improvement on me.
i dont know if real or placebo effect, but it worked.
if that's the case for illnesses caused by environment, will changing environment make them go away?
so basically mentally ill people are away from the standard deviation?
Because they lead sheltered overprotected lives where their own minds end up twisting on themselves in narcissistic overdose
Pharma companies can then medicalize them, and they can use it to justify their own shortcomings and lack of ambition in life, all in order to mask the enormous faults and cracks of a broken system
Why is high IQ associated with many mental illnesses? What about mental illnesses that run in the family?
>so basically mentally ill people are away from the standard deviation?
That's my estimation of it.
>if that's the case for illnesses caused by environment, will changing environment make them go away?
I can't say for sure. Probably not in all cases. An environment may just trigger an illness you're predisposed to, and then could become permanent. The illness might never manifest if you're not exposed to the right conditions. Your best bet for these sorts of questions is a psychologist if you can afford it.
isn't that just weakness on their part?
what are the pros and cons of going off meds?
pic related. does stuff like this coddle weakness? i feel like people before these few decades handled stressors that without being diagnosed.
even farther back a few centuries, people were being conquered and killed left and right but people didn't see it as a problem then. heck, historical figures would be very psychologically disturbed by today's standards.
It's not weakness on their part anymore than it's weakness on many people's part to require a coat during winter. I happen to think right now there's a very toxic cultural environment for people who do not have a strong fortitude/social safet net and it makes it very easy to strain your psyche
Weakness is a good thing by the way, it's what we are and where we come from. While coddling it may not be the best course of action, outright denying any validity to it is basically the worst possible thing you can do to someone
You've launched an interesting discussion pinoy, indeed people in previous historical times were much sturdier, but they lived in majorly different societies to ours
>I happen to think right now there's a very toxic cultural environment for people who do not have a strong fortitude/social safet net and it makes it very easy to strain your psyche
I think this is pretty true. Helicopter parents and nanny states are making people unable to become properly socialised. Traditions that grounded a society are being broken, and the people are floundering for absent order, but only finding soft and spongy walls.
It's real but only some of them, some of the time. It's 3 categories.
Category 1: Real and taken seriously. Example, Schizophrenia is real and is rarely misdiagnosed. It is very serious and no matter how greedy doctors are, they don't fuck around with this.
Category 2: A real mental illness that got "popular" and is now used for free medication. Example: PTSD is real but is practically a junk diagnosis now, it is extremely overdiagnosed. It's sad because some people legitimately have it, but most PTSD diagnoses are BS.
Category 3: literally fake stuff that people pretend is real. Example: Oppositional Defiance Disorder. It's basically "I don't know how to parent so lets drug the kid" with a fancy name.
To answer your other questions, medication and counseling is effective for most real mental illnesses. You can't be too compassionate or use too "tough" of love, one way makes people embrace their neuroses instead of recover and the other has been proven to not really work and makes people withdraw mentally.
Should people care? I don't know. We don't yet live in a world willing to just discard defective people, but at the same time they don't care ENOUGH to care for defective people. Then there are the posers who want attention, those people should be thrown off a cliff.
It might be a bit more complicated than that, I'd say there was a shift in the idea of success and what it means to be socially accepted nowadays, with people going into some vain overdrive competitive mindset that basically fosters insecurity and unstability
I'm pretty sure there's a massive technological and economic component to it ( Internet and Media Industry ) that's channeling those changes as well, we're still in the middle of the storm and as much as I despise this board, it's one of the few places where this topic can be somewhat discussed in a relevant way
Of course it's real. People who claim to be mentally ill tend to be mentally ill. Either they are ill, since they need so much attention that they'd fake a disease, or they actually have whatever they claim they have.
what about ADD or ADHD? are those real?
It's real, but a lot of societal attitudes towards it are stupid.
>so basically mentally ill people are away from the standard deviation?
Standard deviation is a quantity used to describe how values are spread in a distribution. The higher the standard deviation, the further values are from the mean. For your standard bell-curve, 68 % of values are within one standard deviation, 95 within two, and 99.7 within three.
You could say that mentally ill people are multiple standard deviations away from the mean, when measuring some characteristic. The score you get on some sort of a mental health test, for instance.
A definitely category 2. In real cases, often causes learning difficulties, but like most true mental illnesses, can be controlled with medication and therapy. Unfortunately, exploded with popularity and saw a disgusting surge of overdiagnosis by frustrated/bad parents pushing on psychiatrists for help.
To clarify, it can often be easy enough to tell garbage ADD/ADHD diagnoses apart from real ones because of the effects ADD/ADHD has on learning.
Basically if kid is diagnosed because they "won't behave" it's probably junk. But if they're diagnosed because they can't pay attention long enough to learn math in a normal environment, it's probably a legitimate case.
what about indian pharma?
wow. looked it up. it actually worked.
reminds me of medical marijunana. knew someone who used it to help with his adhd.
i wonder this too. it's hard to make generalizations because people are different.
i read in a journal that having short strands of this particular gene renders someone more neurotic

>While coddling it may not be the best course of action, outright denying any validity to it is basically the worst possible thing you can do to someone
i see. thank you for providing a diferent perspective.
>Traditions that grounded a society are being broken, and the people are floundering for absent order, but only finding soft and spongy walls.
i think this is it too, with lots of social upheavals going on.
ah. Munchausen syndrome.
my adopted cousin was diagnosed with ADHD.
he skits around and he breaks things back when he was toddler-aged. before he got treatment he couldnt focus for long periods of time, so i think it might be real.
how can one differentiate between the three categories?
Mental illness is a cover-up for Satanic possession.
Psychiatrists are all communists Jews
Mental illnesses are a Jewish ploy to lock all smart whites in a mental institution.
The Jinn enters your body and tries to manipulate you. This is why "mental illness" people hear voices and have hallucinations. A simple thing like "chemical imbalance" can't create theses complex and consistent symptoms and there is no evidence for the hormone imbalance theory.
Demon possession was a thing in every society before the 20th century when a bunch of Communist Jews replaced it with Psychology
Our society has evolved past our physicality. So this means MORE people are mentally ill when there is less of a place in society for them, when they spend the majority of time indoors, and are required to do little to no physical activity, while simultaniously having all access to delicious foods. Having copious in home distraction and entertainment while still needing human contact on an instinctual level, to be healthy.
We all fucked up.
These people usually wants to cut themselves, they become homosexuals and want to kill themselves. If the cause was merely a defect of the brain it wouldn't manifest like this. The voices people are always to commit some kind of evil act with manipulation that requires a conscious entity. It is very different from how retarded people or people with proven brain defects act. The drugs that are offered as a solution don't even claim to be connected to the cause of the illness, and the psychiatrists don't even claim to understand the cause except for this unproven chemical theory.
If it interests anybody, I personally have OCD and some nervous tics, but I also happen to have a far higher than average IQ. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an association with higher IQ and some of these types of mental differences, though I'm certainly not sure why that is the case. I read in another thread that things like this indicate neanderthal DNA, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.
Overall, yes, it is real (though otherwise could be said for some other illnesses).
Before big pharma these people were said to have been possessed, and the demons were cast out and they lived in peace after. The guys Jesus cast out the legion of demons and cast them into swine, nowadays, he would be considered mentally ill. Just a way to control, make money, and totally cover up God's healing power. Trying to be God.
That flag checks out. Wait until you here of something called the flu.
yeah its called liberalism
It exists. They just got it backwards. Like ADHD....kids just aren't exposed to the proper kind of attention grabbing subjects God created them to engage. Paranoia...well the definition is fears unjustified....so that's just someone's opinion that their fears aren't justified.
Take Noah for instance, guess today they would have told him he was paranoid. Saying that it's never flooded, so why do you fear a flood. And Abraham....they would've said he was a homicidal maniac I'm sure. Their scientific diagnosis try to explain things supernatural, ir the lack thereof, with science.Thats the problem
80% big pharma causes
Other 20% either deep spirituality, or spiritual deficiency
>I'm sick of all these people claiming to be mentally ill
a fucking idiot is an idiot user, the welfare state can't last forever. There are things called camps
>I'm sick of all these people claiming to be mentally ill.
I'm sick of all these mentally ill people claiming to be sane
Your higher than average IQ just means you are able to engage in deeper understanding of germs, and your mind is more organized, therefore that uniform organization in your brain manifests in your daily life. Maybe, everyone else's brain is less organized, and deficient in proper thought processes and organizational processes, you just stand out cause you became the minority in that area. Maybe you are normal and they are not.
We are tribal hunter-gatherers, ask yourself why animals held in captivity such as in the zoo have different behaviors than ones that live freely in the wild.
A "mental-illness" is simply an incapability to survive in our modern society, as our society becomes ever more complex is it no surprise that more and more humans are classified as "mentally-ill"?
Autism is very real, not sure if that is a mental illness anyway.
I concur. Indeed, we were meant to be more engaged with nature, animals, and spirituality. Rather we are living somewhere where they fence off natural forestss, tear them down and replace them with metal and glass, while poisoning our food and water while telling us it's good for us, manipulating hormones, removing spiritual emphasis in life, it's a wonder we're not any worse off than we are, truly.
Doctors don't take the time to investigate patient history anymore. If they can blame symptoms on depression they will. They don't ask about diet or exercise or anything. I had my fiance and brother die the Same week and then told me if I don't take this pill I'll never get better. I didn't take it. Grief is natural and a valid reason to be sad. If I wasn't sad, then I WOULD be mentally ill. The PCPS don't seem like they have spent more than one class on mental health and they shouldn't be allowed to prescribe meds for it. They shoud at the least, refer to psychiatrist. Most people going through such sadness have spent more time than their doctor researching why they are feeling bad and probably know more.
Autism was created by big pharma. If someone with autism takes master mineral solutions according to the protocol laid out for autism, it goes away. They murder naturapathic doctors because they can natural cure and reverse the effects of big pharma. Dr. Brazinsky is one of many that cured cancer. But, nascent iodine, MMS, and baking soda. Those three things are natural and can either cure or prevent nearly anything.
It's a conflict of interest now that big pharmacy and physicians get paid if they prescribe depression or anxiety meds. Having working in a medical office, I've never seen a more slimy individual then the medical sales rep. What they are labeling mental illness is sometimes just leople going through a hard time or people too busy to make changes they can and do need to make. Taking some pill can make the healing process even more of an uphill battle. There are real mental illnesses out there and that is why psychiatrists exist
ah i know what you mean user. did you know they're adding grief to the DSM-5 manual? i think they're going overboard.
my mother (a nurse) told me about this too. doctors have sponsor sales reps.
If we all stood up to them, and went to Congress demanding they stop the geoingeering, you would begin to see a decrease in both autism and dementia. Although the vaccines are the main culprit for autism. I dare say I believe they will try to start giving mother's medication or filling the prenatal vitamins with aluminum have you noticed how thick the skies have been the last couple years, especially this year. Shiuld really keep up with the skies and their parents for geoingeering. It's a MAJOR concern. Don't drink the water either. There's a reason flouride comes with skulls and crossbones. Besides, the flouride they put in our water, isn't what you think, it's a chemical by product from the aluminum plants in China. They get it dirt cheap from China cause they don't want to have to dispose of it (they don't fluoridate their people, cause they feel it's better for their nation to be wise and awake).
A doctor actually told me that if it's been 6-8 months after my family members died and I'm not feeling normal then I have depression. It was one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard from anyone and Ive hear a lot. I decided to never see that doctor again
Psychotic breaks are very, very real. You don't want one. You really don't.
Right, whenever I have felt like shit in life - a doctor has tried to prescribe pills. I have explained to them that if something bothering me - pills or medication will not make it go away or fix it.
People need to be able to fix what made them feel that way in the first place rather then numbing it.
Depopulation and control. Think of how easy it is to be diagnosed. Just think, once everyone is diagnosed mentally ill, no one can have a gun and cannot decide what's best for themselves. And when credibility comes into question, well, they are mentally ill. So, they're not.....I can't even say it. It angers me. And makes me sick. The way they oppressed everyone with their control and tactics, while they steal our money and sell us out to the enemies. Then they say we aren't credible. Well they are even relevant.
BEST POST GOT ROBBED
Get me in the screenshot pls
i'm one of the faggots with borderline
it feels pretty real
Yea, but I'm sure it was in some way, either directly, or indirectly, cause by some authoritative entity engaging too far into your life or someone close to you that oppressed either you or them so much you felt helpless and hopeless while they continue to oppress, traumatizing to the point where you break mentally
Another factor is insurance companies. They get in the way of doctors having the information they need to diagnose something. I've worked with some physicians and surgeons and they are strange people. One surgeon would visit yahoo answers and read comments in between all his patients. I think he would get some high off of thinking he is way smarter than those people. If I really step back and think about it, I'm not so sure that some of them didn't have a mental illness
They use mk ultra to create borderline and multiple personality. Many don't remember how or when until they are under hypnosis.
are you sure you're not still mentally ill lmao
stop coming to an anime website full of 15 year olds for advice
>One surgeon would visit yahoo answers and read comments in between all his patients.
i work with doctors and in between their initial visit to the room and when they come back they are googling your symptoms and making their diagnosis based on that. every. single. time. you could diagnose yourself for 95% of shit, i'm sure. you could interpret your own test results too using google. i am not impressed at all with doctors after having worked with them for years
Really its not a question of whether madness,insanity, or mental illness exist.
Its a question of how well you can cope with it.
With yours or others.
Mental illness exists as a cluster of behaviors and some biological factors like brain damage, piosioning or mal nutrition.
Doctors are taught to rule out any "organic" causes for symptoms. However many dont have the coverage for such intensive tests.
Psychology does have the power nowadays to tell others what is considered "normal".
Stop them from causing disease and killing naturopath drs and we won't need insurance companies
Mental illness is real but big pharma is definitely taking massive advantage with no qualms. The true questions with mental illnesses are whether or not it's even worth mentioning.
If you look at the population and its general behavioral characteristics then look at each person individually it would be obvious that a large portion would be mentally disturbed in some way. The vast majority of those mentally disturbed people are generally "normal" and can easily function in general society by finding accommodations that would suit them or finding ways to cope. The other sections are either those who need medical intervention as they are either absolutely bat shit (paranoid schizos) or in need of medication (severe bipolar, crippling anxiety, etc).
I believe too many people nowadays are medicated to make up for not fitting into the cultural norm because this world only allows you to be a turbo normie or you're literally deranged and should swallow pills.
There in lies the problem. The ones that have power to make those decisions. We should be making far more decisions other than who we're gonna let Rob or poison us and where we are going to work to make the money to pay those said entities to rib and/or poison us.
The medical field is really sloppy. Be your own advocate and don't blindly trust. Think for yourself
Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.
High level hospital administrators are generally psychopathic and have no knowledge of medical. They also mess up the flow and make more than surgeons
Neither. They should be shamans and you should listen to them. The faithless will hate this statement.
What is meeker than someone you can force into a hospital and force big-Pharma poisons into?
Medfag here. Our understanding of mental illnesses is very limited, but schizophrenia is starting to be better understood and has some genetic and epigenetic associations. Anxiety and depression exist on such a spectrum that whether or not they are "real" is pretty much impossible to determine. Personally I think anxiety and depression can be best managed by lifestyle changes.
>yeah i got exorcised once and it actually did a lot of improvement on me.
what the fuck did you get exorcised for
I worked in an ER and saw some pretty crazy PTSD cases, mostly with vets who went through crazy shit like shooting pregnant women with bombs strapped to their chests. Then you'd also have blue haired trannies with diagnosed "PTSD" who have legal disability status from it. Disgusting.
You are correct in a way. Many people seek purpose. Our society does not provide people with an easy way out - an easy way to form an identity with purpose. They are unable to form larger cultural identities that are not consumerist in nature.
i am diagnosed, user. i've had my plenty share of psychotic breaks.
i am much better now.
i'm asking for opinions, not advice.
my own understanding isn't clear, and my family is full of medical professionals so i do have a background on this.
i see. there are high functioning insane people after all.
No OP, you're not a faggot, and everyone's brain is exactly the same.
It's real but caused by interdimensional demons employed big pharma. Meds are a bandage

Here now, and have never felt better in my life. Mental illness is "real" in a sense but our understanding of it is completely out of whack. Mental illness is a call from God/the self/whatever to say that what you believe is reality, is false. That there exists a higher plane of consciousness that you can exist on where you can live your life as you are supposed to. I always knew that what I went through was for a reason and rejected medication for the most part. It makes me really sad that "mentally ill" people are not listened to because I have found that for the most part they are generally right about something they see. Of course the ability to convey it is diminished but there is a truth to the madness.
Me and the voices in my head have disagreements sometimes, but tat doesnt make me crazy does it? Or the shit I see, or the presence I feel? Nah. Just good ol normal ass hallucinations.
I say go out and change whats making you depressed. If not, wait till you can.
>depression can be best managed by lifestyle changes
i do 150+ pushups twice a week and walk 6km every day and eat healthy. One of the top students in calc class & graduated HS recently. Still thinking about suicide and how im worthless garbage all the time. Please help :(
Its fake like adhd
I see. thank you for your reply.
since the knowledge is limited, isn't diagnosis a bit like "a shot in the dark?" symptoms of mental illness can be faked/misinterpreted after all
my parents felt that therapy wasnt working fast enough so they exorcised me for "demon possession."
i don't know if it's real or fake (placebo effect), but i did feel better afterwards.
Great stuff, your story isn't that different from mine (apart from the Chad stuff...). Tell me, what is that plane of consciousness like for you?
Adhd is fake and treatment doesnt help those people because its fake
Most mental illness is bullshit. Imagine you have a sheep who behaves in a way that makes it hard to run your farm. You beat the sheep and give it some drugs and it behaves like other sheep and you can carry on operating normally. That's what mental illness is, just a deviation from the patterns of behavior required for the people in power to make lots of money.
For example in Soviet Union if you objected to social programs you were crazy. Lefties in the West will try to get "hate speech" labeled a mental disorder soon enough so they can take away your guns and discredit and disenfranchise you politically.
Lots of cases of schizophrenia people just don't communicate their experiences the right way, they just use whatever words they think come close to the concepts they want to convey. Even the few who are like "Yeah it was literally like my dead aunt was right in front of me" that isn't what they really mean, they didn't literally see a real image of their dead aunt. They just had a memory of their aunt and felt like they did in her presence, not some matrix alternate reality crazy shit like you'd imagine when you hear those words.
Also keep in mind that people bullshit all the time, say a bunch of crazy shit for attention and to fuck with other people and also to conform to their own expectations from urban myths of the experiences they expect to have. Like people who take acid and claim they literally saw dragons and stupid shit like that, which really doesn't happen I can assure you. Remember people used to claim seeing fairies and angels and still claim to have had encounters with aliens. They aren't crazy seeing things, it didn't really happen, they're just sociopaths pulling your leg because they get off on getting people to believe bullshit.
What was wrong with you though?
It was more a realisation of the objective reality of human consciousness i.e. the divine spark that connects us all, love for the self/other/existence. Thats nice and all too, but it still doesn't deny the reality of our biological existence and our tendencies for shared culture race etc.
I guess i understood that everything I saw in the world was an expression of conscioussness and whatever I focused on was something within my conscious that was calling from attention. Now I look at the world and can see through everything and it shows my path to me. I can feel what people need and try to do what I can to make the world better in the best way I can. I really had to recognise the darkness inside of me and make a choice to be a man of virtue rather than let me dark, egoistic desires drive me.
Not sure if that makes sense, or even covers much of it at all, but its been a crazy few years and I'm thankful for my suffering because I really deserved it to be honest.
For the other cases of "mental illness", you take away someone's job, kick them out of school, all their friends and family abandon them, they lose all their money etc all at once yeah they start behaving crazy, because they have no social support and are overwhelmed by stress of a lifetime of security being replaced with "Fuck now I have no idea how to survive day to day". These people will continue to behave differently until they adjust to their new situation or they have social support restored. The answer here is not to add further stress by institutionalizing them and drugging them up unless they are an immediate threat to someone. Just give them some welfare and meet new people and something to do and they'll be fine til they get back on their feet.
In the case of "I can feel you eating me" no chance that guy literally felt his family was eating him. He just felt anxiety at his family, likely had a lot of unresolved issues because they treated him like shit, and that was the only way how he knew to express that experience during a time of stress. Shitty relationships with family fuck you up more than anything, because for the most part you can't just tell your parents and shit to fuck right off for all the bullshit they did to you as a kid.
Yes, but you can heal. Big pharma doesn't want you to know that, but you can get better. Look at Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible. He spent seven years thinking he was an ox.
And now, like then, God can heal. If you believe in Jesus Christ and pray, He can heal you. I'm much better than a couple of years ago. Traumatic brain injury can heal over time.
It's so spooky you said you discover the self/other/all perspective, it was through writing fiction that I also came to that conclusion, everything can be seen through those lenses. It's all a matter of perspective, and one can manifest as the other. Took me many years and I'm super intellectual.
good ol' depression and hallucinations.
they're gone now. they used to be very vivid. i've never taken drugs but i imagine is it as intense/more so.
It is easy to see the systems of control around you that seem to control your existence, but to realise that the systems of control are really just a perception in your mind is more difficult. If people wake up from mental illness, they can see that these system exist, sure, but that knowing that they are just a construct created by people who understand how to enslave others frees you to carve out your own power block within the system and potentially change it. If enough good people wake up then you can change the whole system. Thats why protesting and all that activist stuff is bullshit. If you want to change the world you need to realise that YOU have to change it. Be the king of you kingdom and don't submit your mind to the control of others, or if you do then be able to judge them on their morality/beliefs/values etc.
ADHD/ADD is absolute bullshit. Kids naturally have energy and short attention spans. It's called being a kid. But now instead of letting them play outside we just give them amphetamines.
Depression is real but medication for it is bullshit. Excercise and diet help way more than some Jew pill.
Anxiety is real but medication is billshit except for extreme cases.
Yeah its a difficult path to walk and we are so good at creating false realities for ourselves that deny the truth of our existence and the freedom of our souls. Whatever you're doing man keep walking the path. If we can be saved it is only through conscious moral action of people that are capable of doing it and love their people enough to do it.
Depression isn't real. You can "overcome" it with willpower
>Excercise and diet help way more than some Jew pill.
both dont work for me haha
That's what I'm saying. It's real but it's completely curable without Jew pills.
Also, I was a hyper analytic kinda guy before, tried to control the world around me rather than myself, a very 'masculine' spirit that desires perfection. I really had to crack open my emotions and embrace my 'feminine' intuitiveness to be able to percieve/feel/experience reality rather than trying to break it down and understand it all the time. Now the analytic side is more focused and I'm far more intuitive with people.
