    Controversial opinions on mental illness

    hyperphagia:

    ‘Calling disapproved thinking, emotions, or behavior a mental illness might be excusable if mental illness was a useful myth, but it isn’t. Rather than helping us deal with troubled or troublesome persons, the myth of mental illness distracts us from the real problems that need to be faced. Rather than being caused by a “chemical imbalance” or other biological problem, the nonconformity, misbehavior, and emotional reactions we call mental illness are the result of difficulties people have getting their needs met and the behavior some people have learned during their lifetimes. The solutions are teaching people how to get their needs met, how to behave, and using whatever powers of enforcement are needed to force people to respect the rights of others. These are the tasks of education and law enforcement, not medicine or therapy.’

    you have got to be fucking with me.

    there are people who actually think this?

    somebody handle this before have an aneurysm. 

    LAW ENFORCEMENT?! LAW ENFORCEMENT?! 

    YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING.
