They're compensated by the pharmaceutical companies for writing out the prescriptions. It's literally their job to push everything they can on you, nowadays.

well if you make the bar to pass medicial shit lower because to do otherwise would be racist and sexist...

The conservatives are right about that part

very true. and they have rationalized their role as being 'vital'

interesting the corrleation between the prominence of psychiartry and suicide + shootings

Exactly, Manimal; amen to everything you've said.

I chalk all the bad modern mental health problems down to social and societal norms

they don't know what they are doing and they think they can fix 'the engine' without even examining the transmission or anything else

i blame all problems on lack of Dads and appreication of them

Yikes.

I mean social media and the internet are definitely helping people radicalise and become detached from the real world

But the chicken of being a loser and doing that comes before the egg that is the internet

well, it's who WIELDS the social normss

We've got so-called doctors with 8-week certificates rampant throughout the industry, operating as physicians, as well so-called "psychiatrists," who've barely finished anything beyond an associates, yet they have the ability to prescribe and ruin people's lives.

@Samaritan which a dad would be morei nclined to say 'stop doing that, go outside'

because men with a proper understanding, would know to do that

Ofc ma social norms can't be destroyed imao

the feminine BOTH set the social norms AND they are the ones that are most open about their feels

so the DSM-V is written solely from THEIR perspective

I'd like to believe I use social media in the right way

and what they consider 'normal' only functions if you have a vagina

Hmmm I'd have to read it and have a think about that

Might be true

the dsm-v mostly written by men?

a man can't wear his feelings on his sleeve as it draws the vultures

but a girl can

I disagree in total with current conception of autism in dsm I know that much

different rules

Its over diagnosed by god knows how many %s

Remember what sonic always says

At least here anyway it might be politically affected

teaching a boy to follow the rules of girls is a receipe for disaster

Eg gib me welfare my kid is autismo and so a lot of parents purposely get their kids diagnosed

At least here

he'll always get the short end of the stick, be the beast of burden and will never know why

The problem with single mother summed up quite nicely

autism has always been a spectrum

more male = more autism

cause males aren't the social creatures that women are

they don't need to be
