![53% of mothers who have children with Gender Identity Disorder also have Borderline Personality Disorder [1033x1635 - 386KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/RRLCDa.jpg){kind=link}
Our society is experiencing a mental health crisis. Hopefully this results in an increase in clinical psychology and therapies that treat the cause rather than the symptoms.
It's shocking how many kids don't have a way out of a situation like yours. It's awesome that you escaped!
that treat the cause rather than the symptoms
Don't get your hopes up too high. This would be opposite of our current approach. Unless a false/arbitrary cause can be attached to the illness, like white supremacy or patriarchy.
Even though it's a radical opinion. People with personality disorders are still people. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could cure personality disorders? It would help our entire society have stronger families, more productive workplaces, and less crazy people in politics.
The mistake you’re making is assuming that psychotherapy/psychiatry is a real medical discipline or objective science. It isnt. Its a religion. Basically shamanism.
You might just as well ask “Wouldn’t it be great is we eliminated all sinful behavior?” Im sure many christians hoped to establish a utopian society this way in the past.
Its a will o the wisp. Determination of “pathological behavior” isnt objective. It depends on the values of the society. People that violate social norms or even people that experience a lack of success in society are deemed to suffer from some personality disorder or autism or Depression. None of these “conditions” can be explained well as a physiological disease. Most of this shit is just normal variation within a population.
For example blacks have a high rate of psychopathy/sociopathy on these tests. How can you “cure” this? You cant without eugenic intervention. Which causes as many problems as it solves.
Mental health is being pushed because it creates new markets for the medical industry while opening the door for more authoritarianism.
It's not a mental health problem, it's a spiritual one. People have completely abandoned God and morality, so they take legal drugs to numb their vapid black empty souls.
Are you saying that Atheists commit crime to nurse their aching souls?
