Do you think most of the mental diseases are caused by the lack of sex?

Freud's theories likely were. Mental illness, probably not.
If that was the problem then my husband wouldn't have depression.

This is an advice board, anon.
I don't think that was Freud's thesis.
A lot of them are caused by social interaction, which you can argue that sex is a component of.
Overall no though, not most of them, only occasionally. I would argue that the far more important aspect of sex is the sense of acceptance, validation and love that comes from a relationship - and there are obviously lots of very mentally damaging things that can occur through relationships that have nothing to do with sex.

Nope it was how you were raised.
Only child, abscene of a father figure, etc.

where do you know that?
Freud was revolutionary, but his ideas are not verifiable through scientific means.
Also, in science, it's not a matter of what you think. It's more about: Is it verifiable? Most of Freud's theories are non verifiable or have too many variables working together that it is impossible to isolate the right cause.
>>18102465
causes are not numerable.
certainly not limited to sex.

Psychoanalysis isn't empiric.
>>18102762
If it's not empiric then it's not scientific.
Which is no different to homeopathy, religion, tarot, runes, etc.
>>18102770
That's just blind scientism.

Lack of physicality and fitness are the same thing, and they are not causes of depression, you're retarded.
