Can other cultures show examples of acceptance and positive benefits? Yes. The WHO IPSS shows signifcantly better results in society's which haven't become maladjusted through the dogma of psychiatry and the ^ndustrial Revolution. It showed people in poor nations who have schizophrenia do better than in the affluent West where there are established psychiatric systems accepted by the masses as doing a good thing.
Psychiatry enables something. The destruction and subjugation of a phenotype. Illness has nothing to do with it. That"s just the paradigm which is applied like somke brilliant bit of propaganda or sleight of hand to confuse the public into accepting the idea that human emotion is an illness.
The subjugation of the mad across recent centuries has removed our type fromm view. Indoingso it allowed the pathologisation of the less mad. It allowed ever greater swathes of the diversity of our race to be subjugated, in modern times with chemical bheavioural agents and preeviously with incaceration without crime.
The desire was to create or allow only the existence of rrobotic human beings. The empolyment and social constructs of the Industrial Age demanded robots and as technology progressed humans were replaced by robots, for example in the car industry.
The reason isn't really the medical professions fault. They just enable the subjugation. They provide the easy answer backed by pseudoscience. The system came about because of the 'problem' of the mad. As society changed it disadvantaged, excluded and outcast those who were different in terrible ways.
It was the people who made the decision to exclude and outcast those with mental illness. Without the great confinement where those who had committed no crime were incarcerated for life the mad would have died. Many did in the asylums anyway.
Can we accept the symptoms of mental illness? Well not yet.
Our society is still sick and there are few healers. And I am stumped to think of a solution.
