mental illness is more common than you think
i'd go so far to say that it's actually the norm

>>78514333
selection bias, this mongolian finger painting fansite attracts people with mental diseases.

>>78514333
The whole 'autism' shit here on 4chan is just a meme. It's a long lasting and funny insult that's been used since the old days of 4chan. It's just a joke that everyone is in on, no one here on this site is actually diagnosed with autism

>>78514364
But is that true or is it just overdiagnosis? Feels like every single person has PTSD or anxiety these days

I bet I could go to a doctor and get diagnosed with depression and ADHD easily. Is it even possible to empirically confirm/deny depression or ADHD?

I only have Depression. Honestly thought it was me making shit up for the first year or so, but it kept getting worse despite all the positive changes, and now I can't deny it.

it started around 2011-2012 iirc

I was diagnosed by a medical professional.

im clinically retarded, got my iq test back this month and its actually below 80

Not saying everyone is suffering at the same time but I think that the majority of people experience some type of mental illness at some point in their life,even excluding old-age disease like dementia and Alzheimers.

The brain is so complex there are a lot of things that can go wrong with it, so to me it makes sense that a lot of people are bonkers.

>>78514458
What tests did they run?

If I go to a medical professional and claim I have trouble focusing, I Google symptoms of ADHD and paraphrase them... can I get diagnosed?

Then if I go to another medical professional and claim im depressed and want to kill myself can I get diagnosed as well?

Then a third medical professional where I claim I get so anxious I cant leave my house or whatever shit r9k makes up can I get diagnosed? How can they possibly prove me wrong?

i'm diagnosed with aspergers and was just released from a mental hospital last month

>>78514394
Have you ever met one? Some of them are almost ""normal"".
I would not be so sure, but I believe people mistake total lack of social skills with autism.

>>78514333
Do you have a normal sexuality? Are you like this fellow on the video?

Makes sense. Let's prescribe psychoactive drugs to everyone at will, whether they may or may not have these illnesses.

>>78514333
I was professionally diagnosed. I stopped taking my meds since my new workplace healthcare package doesn't cover it anymore, though.

Fortunately, all that means is I'll never be able to maintain a social life, which I was shit at anyway! Take that, big pharma!

>>78514517
Why would aspergers require hospitalization?

>>78514493
>What tests did they run?
It was a while ago (I was only in 10th grade last time they did it) but from what I remember the psychiatrist asked me a bunch of questions and had me do physical/hand eye coordination test like walk in a straight line with my feet in a ball and do some puzzles.

>>78514522
why wouldnt you want your brain, a complex machine, to run effectively??

>>78514567
have pretty bad depression too, autism and that often go hand in hand.
drugged up and doing quite a bit better now though.

>>78514586
Idk, im not exactly sure psychoactive drugs on a developing brain are 100% safe. Seems a little dangerous.

>>78514394
actually pretty sure there's a disproportionate number here

t. high functioning

>>78514613
im 36 kid
get off this site you rug rat its big boy time

>>78514640
I hope this is true lmao. The thought of a grown adult posting on 4chan next to underaged kid anime posters is hilarious

>>78514640
>>78514613
eh, I've been taking adhd meds for a few years. It doesn't fuck me up and i'm not addicted but oftentimes when it wares off I feel irritable and anxious.

Leo Messi is autistic lads, autism is not what people believes, there are many types and levels.

>>78514333
most normal people don't bother with this site

>>78514691
On r9k it's synonymous with being a NEET

>>78514333
It's all cope, I've finally realized that I'm just an ugly, bitter and boring person.

I have depression. Diagnosed by a psychiatrist.
I have to take a bunch of meds.
I hate them, they make me sluggish and just feeling like crap.
Also, they take away my libido, so I can't masturbate :/

>>78514909
>>78514394
I thought the autism thing started because of Chris-chan

>>78514981
but you can take it up your ass anyway, can't you?

>>78514333
Doctors overdiagnose so they can sell their pills

>>78515018
Makes his asshole clinch like hard cement too.

>>78515018
Yes. I mean, why wouldn't I?

>>78514333
I'm just a good old fashioned alcoholic, I guess we feel a need a to justify why we are here

>>78514394
I actually went to the hospital twice to get it tested on the advice of two consecutive therapists. Heh.

But then again, their diagnosis was that I don't have it.
