The social disability comes from a misalignment after the Industrial Revolution. The vagries of the human condition were medicalised. The mad were locked up abnd hiding for generations. Society became misformed to advantage robot like people. Those who were mentally different or behaved different were hidden from view. As children grew to adults they forgot the mad existed. That is the scary part. How an act of compassion turned out to be the cause of so much future malformation. As the asylums were created so the illness in society took hold.
Those who were not hidden from view had their ways modified, or attempted to. Society demanded adherence to automoton behaviours and individuals found a new church to replace the systems of old laid waste by reason and science.
Psychiatrys greatest trick was the application of science to temporary and localised cultural and social prejudice. This is the fundamental reason who psychiatry is a pseudoscience.
Why is it so bad that science is misapplied? Because science is the new dogma of the system which replaced the power and truth system of religion. God's voice is replaced by a systematic review.
And so as science advanced the people still believed behavioural health was founded on scientific principles. It isn't. Otherwise there'd be a large body of work in psychosanology - wellness of the mind. Thered be work understanding the interplay of psychopathology and psychosanology.
The mad themselves are subjugated by the paradigm of illness and the methods of well intentioned psychuiatrists. They are just like the ones a century ago who pathologised homosexuality. This was temporalily considered abnormal and the engine of psychiatry subjugated homosexuals as mentall ill. They helped them to change out of compassion just like they help the mad to be like automotons.
It is compassionate because in a fucked up society those who are of different types do less worse. It is the developed world nations which are ill. Their systems and cultures have been malformed. The WhO IPSS data shows just how true this is.
The malformation is responsible for a significant part of the social disability. It is laws like the Disability Discrimination Act which try to heal the ill but the ill is far gone and there are no true society doctors.
The illness means our human race loses out. Our progress has always been fettered by systems which treat those who are equally able less favourably simply because they're different. The value to our society is lost as experiences which create wisdom and passion are medicated away. Experience of emotional pain is called an illness because robots are considered the norm. The cycle of life is little understood. Creativity and expression are traded for cheap docility.
The price of the illness in society is also death. Many have died or been tortured all in the name of behavioural health. There is not oversight sufficient to stop the butchery.
