the definition(s) of mental illness is (are) subjective and malleable, no doubt

if you are genuinely interested in the subject, i recommend that you read the following series of exchanges
The six most essential questions in psychiatric diagnosis: a pluralogue, toward a new nosology

fronted by Frances (lead ed of DSM-IV), and Spitzer (lead ed of DSM-III), and leader of the initial working group for DSM-5 (not Bill Frist, but surname similar)

The field (psychiatry) is in crisis: they literally rehabilitated Thomas Szasz for this discussion.

Dammit,I suppose it is. I'm not reading it all. Good luck with the useless subject I luckily've never had

>forced as a student
you should not trust the administration to speak/ act in good faith

they may lie to you about your rights (to refuse treatment), and about the punishments they can/cannot impose upon you

if the university says 'do this' or 'sign this' or 'we can expel you for this or that' you should not assume they are telling you the truth

no doubt there is a batshit crazy expansionism in the whole diagnostics of new disorders that are weakly based
hyperinflation, too. usually criterias where bigger,now you need so little to get at least 1 of the disorders
kind of reminds me of whole obesity thing. up to 10 yrs ago normal bl.sugar values were 3,33-5,55 and now that the whole planet is getting fatter ref. values are up to 6,0-8,0
same goes to psychiatry but in the opposite way. u need less symptoms to be ''ill''

and rationally speaking, anymone who has even a slight part of his rational mind left would read shit those doctors are trying to make him take as a therapy. side effects are insane! THAT ''therapy'' really makes you sick and they expand their incidence, announce epidemic of psychological disorders and earn shitloads of money on nothing.
weak, fictionally based so called science.
i'll read pt 3 & 4 in a few hrs

no i mean i have it as a subject i have to pass and it kills my brain cells

top kek, bullshitter

the expressly medical/physiological analogy (comparing diabetes to mental illness) is bullshit.

>i have it as a subject i have to pass
anyone of merely average intelligence can figure out how to shut up and pass a course owing to self-perservation

your are not good at this and you should pack it in

>>8808063
bite me hobbit

>butt-devastated by juvenile insults
'no'

The hardcore psychotic disorders are real, everything else is probably a meme, most psychiatrists dream of charging $400 per session once a week cash talking to high functioning people about "anxiety" while armies of schizophrenics roam the streets.

this is true, i completely agree
(OP)

Psychfag here. Be glad psychiatry exists to attempt to solve every feasible problem with a pill because if it didn't exist, we would be left to the hands of traditional treatments that, for sure, aren't going to work.
