People become

The biopsychosocial model of cause of mental illness is fascinating. Its a unifying theory with little practical application but being the closest to the truth.

The truth is people become. Perhaps genetic predispositions and psychological types and current society contribute together through numerous factors to create patterns of behaviour and experience.

People become. From saints to murders this is a truth. In fact in terms of types some of those so valued in history and people's hearts could become reveiled as the worst of the worst. Or vice versa.

People become. But there is another thing. Judgements and labels. Norms and constructs.

People become. But society places judgements upon them. In psychiatry it is sophisticated but it is magic, a trick and a sleight of hand. The purpose is this aspect of enforces temporary norms.

Kids with ADHD? No. Just kids. People with dementia killed through the use of antipsychotics it treat their supposed illness. No. Just a norm which changed when society, and doctors, had a useful tool which had no safeguards. Depression itself. Not an illness but a part of the human condition when psychiatrists are taught that normal is like a robot and the solution to a maladapted society is modification of the individual.

Let wisdom guide? Fucking motto of the royal college of psychiatry. What a joke.

People become. The human individual and our diversity is more precious than the unique and irreplaceable diversity of nature.

Even the venus fly trap is beautiful. We live in a time when the wisdom is here to promote this vision of the sanctity of other organisms and the recognition of the change in valuation.

Nature used to be a resource. Now the World Wildlife Federation and others seek for people to see the other inmates of planet earth as brothers and sisters, not food and fodder.

People value nature's diversity but too often don't value our own human diversity. This gold amongst gold is more precious.

Individuals. Amazing, strange, different, and oh so human humans.

People become. And in ways more diverse than through Darwin's evolution applied to the natural world.

But psychiatrists say the venus fly trap is bad and it should be a sunflower. Psychiatrsts want lions to be sheep and elephants to be mice. Or whatever average constitues their temporary version of normal.

People become. But psychiatry polices this. The secret power to make extinct human types and destroy human diversity in a way hunters of yore could only dream of.
