| i mean 'mental illness' is essentially just a term for it. It's always a reaction to something, so you sure do have a point. It's kind of ... complicated i guess |

I dont believe mental illness is even a real thing anymore but instead a natural reaction to how shitty modern society is. Think about it. You're either trolling or never graduated high school. Sure, centuries of psychiatric and psychological research, as well as in relation to chemistry (you know, serotonine, dopamine and all that) don't mean shit because a random otaku dreamt a revelation last night. What a joke you are if you're serious. If not, excellent trolling! |

This is a whole other thing you're talking about and I doubt anyone denies that most psychiatrists tend to overprescribe medication. It is indeed an industry like you said, so the bottom-line is what counts the most. This applies for any medical field, really. But saying that mental illnesses don't exist and greedy psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies invented them just to make big bucks is simply absurd and ridiculous. LATER EDIT: saw that you mentioned you've been diagnosed as schizophrenic. I'm really sorry to hear that, but I actually met someone like you last year who also believed they're completely sane. Delusion is part of the symptoms. It might sound rough and insensitive, but your beliefs most likely stem from your mental health condition. Don't get mad at me, I am also diagnosed with clinical depression and it took a while to come to terms with it, so I can understand your way of thinking to a certain degree. |

Why not go to the root of the matter then. Why not ask if her beliefs were the same before the diagnosis. Why not find out what caused the mental illness to begin with? I don’t think it’s fair for someone just be branded as mentally ill like a tattoo for their entire lives and have to take prescribed drugs to keep them under control or alleviate symptoms rather than to heal them. |
| The mental illness industry is nonexistent in my country yet there are definitely people showing signs of sickness, I don't think anyone is profiting from them. |
| Hmm, when I had to explore the past behind my and other students family tree, it was noticeable especially during the Soviet occupation many died of suicide or substance abuse so I do believe people suffer from a created environment, specifically consequences of political regime which affected everyone’s personal life and family relationships. And it’s hard to ignore that depression was most likely right next to them going unnoticed, undiagnosed - like it wasn’t ‘’real’’. So I do prefer my mental illenesses real. |

| ehhh depression isn't only external internal chem imbalances exist anxiety doesn't have to be a reflection of outer things either my anxiety is basically just physical pain and inability to control myself like i wake up in the morning with a pile of bricks on my chest can't breath, cant think or when i try to stop talking about something bad, and i just can't but it's not really fear of the fucked up world i do agree tho that our environment is really bad and it breeds these things but all a mental illness is is a mental state that becomes harmful to you or others it's very broad |

I don’t think it’s fair for someone just be branded as mentally ill like a tattoo for their entire lives and have to take prescribed drugs to keep them under control or alleviate symptoms rather than to heal them. Dude, you're trying to apply logic to an irrational person. I'm not saying it as an insult, this is how this damn disorder manifests. How can I, a random person from MAL, find out what caused the mental illness from the start when not even experts can't affirm with certainty what the causes are? The exact causes of schizophrenia are unknown. Research suggests a combination of physical, genetic, psychological and environmental factors can make a person more likely to develop the condition. Some people may be prone to schizophrenia, and a stressful or emotional life event might trigger a psychotic episode. Sources: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/causes/ and https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/schizophrenia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354443 I'm pretty sure it would be in everyone's interest to heal them completely since society needs as much people as possible to be fully functional and work. However, such a cure was not found so far. Just like with cancer. Do you really think doctors and pharmaceutical companies actually have a cure for it and just hide it because they want random people to die for some reason? |
