sorry, had to run off
S'all good
I think it might be a case of loving who you are. Kind of accepting who you are maybe?
I guess thats what people define mental illness as I guess. What if a brain tumour is causing something, does removing count as well?
Actually another question
there is difference between mental illness and neurological disorder😉
Do brain tumours cause mental illness?
There is a huge difference Jasse for sure.
and beemann was using example of curing neurological disorder by surgery
And comparing that to mentall illnes.
Mental illness though is one of those things people dont talk bout much anymore
And the difference between the two is kinda just... not really discussed unless you are an expert on the topic.
Even when you're talking specifically about mental illness we primarily treat that physically
If only its something that is diagnosed as such.
Problem with mental illness though is that its.. very specific
Sure, we don't just go out handing pills and electroconvulsive therapy to randos
Also people cant be trusted to continue their treatment. What if they stop taking their pills for instance
And they rebound violently
But the topic in question was extreme, diagnosed cases of dysphoria
Which is generally treated with pills (not surgery) with elective plastic surgery
And which can be caused by differences in brain structure
Didnt they treat that with vibrators?
There are physical and psychological bases for dysphoria
Anyway speaking of dysphoria I found out about some cult that believes they are reincarnated video game characters.
resetera ?
Oh that's just Tumblrshit
Goes back to weather your body pumps you full of E or T.
And most of them are just LARPing
I mean they claim it was that that brought about the term soulbonding or otherkin
Your body pumping you full of T but having female brain structure is a physical cause m8
This one specifically say they are "bonded" to the soul belonging to a fictional character.
And.... well I wish it was larping
But like any community theres the extremes. And it kinda talked about how those extremes manifested itself.
Goes back to accepting who you are though.
I think the main problem with the "trans debate" is that the rampant politicization of the issue means that better solutions will have a hard time getting through
A friend of mine actually visited a discord server to do with that fictional character thing
And I suspect there is a better solution, with a higher success rate, that isn't tied to medical complications
Two guys claimed they were Superman and argued for three hours threatening to kill each other
Someone suggested they were from alternate comic universes so had them recount events
