genuine human experiences, reactions and whatever else.
Take critical thinking. This can be common with certain types of
depression. It may lead to worse outcomes in life where people in
malformed societies expected yes-men. Saying "yes" is a social skill and
lack of this, apparently, isn't sociable. Those who think critically may
have slight differences in their brains so this justifies calling them
ill and turning them into yes-men.
Take anger. The angry black man specifically. This has become one of the
new psychopathologies of schizophrenia. I would guess the black rights
movement and the advertising by the pharmaceutical companies to the
American of the potential of 'antipsychotics' to 'treat' angry black men
in the 1960s or 1970s lead to the massive over use of the drug on black
men in modern Western societies like the US and UK. These countries are
guilty of killing many blak men because of their anger using the
antipsychotic. These countries are guilty of forcing death, illness and
reduced life expectancy on black men (and to a lesser extent black
women) using the label of schizophrenia.
It took angry black men to rise up against the oppression. Suddenly the
white masses found they had a situation where subhumans thought they
were human. The white skinned people held the power in society and the
black skinned ones had nothing but their voices and their lives, and
their anger. They had their capability to protest. Some advocated
violence but the main figurehead, Martin Luther King, took his
inspiration from a non-violent struggle.
In the end the angry black-skinned men and women won their rights and
their equality. But it came at a cost, a cost which few outside mental
health knew about. The cost was the shift of the diagnosis and treatment
of schizophrenia to oppress the black types deemed 'ill' by Western
psychiatrists. Many, many black-skinned people died in secret. Their
deaths were simply the result of compassionate doctors treating an
illness. Their deaths were caused by the use of a drug to suppress them
because this was convenient.
It's not surprising that schizophrenics as a whole have had such a
battle for freedom, rights and equality. They are made to fear their
anger. They are made to accept medication and in leu of medication they
are tricked into relaxation techniques or anything that will suppress
this anger in them.
It is as though the schizophrenic has no right to be angry. Society sees
little value in anger and only the harm of homicide. I admit I do not
want any more people to die and I understand difficult choices must be
amde but sadly those difficult choices...also lead to more deaths of old
people in a single year in the UK than have been killed by
schizophrenics in almost a quarter of a century. This is just old
people. No one gives a shit about the deaths and reduced life expectancy
of schizophrenics caused by the supposed medical treatment (which
doesn't deal the brain illness and isn't proven to work on cause but
only works as...well..a behavioural change chemical agent).
The modern malformed developed world society wants docile meat for the
work systems. I use the term meat because we may as well be. Our
humanity is too easily stripped from us by psychiatry and its
compassion. The meat are persuaded they are normal if they are meat and
ill/abnormal if they are human. ADHD in children might be another
example or the widening of the use of the diagnosis of bipolar.
Year by year, generation by generation the human race is turned into a
slave race for the work systems or discarded into the welfare system to
be excluded and isolated from mainstream society. Drugs are used to
suppress types and good drugs are made illegal. Human value is wasted
and our humanity's progress suffers as a result because all that are
left untouched by psychiatrists are those with no hearts, no minds and
no souls.
In cthe centuries ahead psychohistorians will weep unashamedly for what
is happening today with DSM-V and ICD's next revision. They will punch
the sky and scream and wail when they read of the ills of our time
perpetrated by the hegemony of psychiatry, the medico-legal framework
and, ultimately, the people.
I weep and wail now.
