you dont threat mentall illnes with surgery...

2018-10-15 15:26:38 UTC  

Actually they used to. #lobotomy

2018-10-15 15:26:40 UTC  

That's actually not really true at all

2018-10-15 15:26:56 UTC  

Epilepsy in extreme cases is treated with brain surgery basically

2018-10-15 15:28:29 UTC  

In which they cut through the corpus callosum

2018-10-15 15:29:42 UTC  

There's probably a number of other similar instances tbh, and we'll probably find more as time goes on

2018-10-15 15:30:24 UTC  

yea

2018-10-15 15:30:27 UTC  

Mental illness is essentially just errant brain function and the brain is a physical organ

2018-10-15 15:30:38 UTC  

sorry, had to run off

2018-10-15 15:30:43 UTC  

S'all good

2018-10-15 15:31:54 UTC  

I think it might be a case of loving who you are. Kind of accepting who you are maybe?

2018-10-15 15:32:03 UTC  

I guess thats what people define mental illness as I guess. What if a brain tumour is causing something, does removing count as well?

2018-10-15 15:33:00 UTC  

Actually another question

2018-10-15 15:33:03 UTC  

there is difference between mental illness and neurological disorder😉

2018-10-15 15:33:09 UTC  

Do brain tumours cause mental illness?

2018-10-15 15:34:15 UTC  

There is a huge difference Jasse for sure.

2018-10-15 15:35:24 UTC  

and beemann was using example of curing neurological disorder by surgery
And comparing that to mentall illnes.

2018-10-15 15:35:25 UTC  

Mental illness though is one of those things people dont talk bout much anymore

2018-10-15 15:35:49 UTC  

And the difference between the two is kinda just... not really discussed unless you are an expert on the topic.

2018-10-15 15:36:27 UTC  

Even when you're talking specifically about mental illness we primarily treat that physically

2018-10-15 15:37:03 UTC  

If only its something that is diagnosed as such.

2018-10-15 15:37:15 UTC  

Problem with mental illness though is that its.. very specific

2018-10-15 15:37:34 UTC  

Sure, we don't just go out handing pills and electroconvulsive therapy to randos

2018-10-15 15:38:03 UTC  

Also people cant be trusted to continue their treatment. What if they stop taking their pills for instance

2018-10-15 15:38:11 UTC  

And they rebound violently

2018-10-15 15:38:14 UTC  

But the topic in question was extreme, diagnosed cases of dysphoria

2018-10-15 15:39:03 UTC  

Which is generally treated with pills (not surgery) with elective plastic surgery

2018-10-15 15:39:17 UTC  

And which can be caused by differences in brain structure

2018-10-15 15:39:18 UTC  

Psyco vs physical

2018-10-15 15:39:39 UTC  

Didnt they treat that with vibrators?

2018-10-15 15:40:33 UTC  

There are physical and psychological bases for dysphoria

2018-10-15 15:41:30 UTC  

Anyway speaking of dysphoria I found out about some cult that believes they are reincarnated video game characters.

2018-10-15 15:41:42 UTC  

resetera ?

2018-10-15 15:41:47 UTC  

Oh that's just Tumblrshit

2018-10-15 15:41:53 UTC  

Goes back to weather your body pumps you full of E or T.

2018-10-15 15:41:58 UTC  

And most of them are just LARPing

2018-10-15 15:42:04 UTC  
2018-10-15 15:42:12 UTC  

I mean they claim it was that that brought about the term soulbonding or otherkin

2018-10-15 15:42:22 UTC  

Your body pumping you full of T but having female brain structure is a physical cause m8

2018-10-15 15:42:35 UTC  

This one specifically say they are "bonded" to the soul belonging to a fictional character.

2018-10-15 15:42:50 UTC  

And.... well I wish it was larping
