Many many psychiatrists themselves and psychologists and med doctors state unequivocally there is NO scientific valid proof of any such thing as a 'chemical imbalance' causing any so-called 'mental disorder'. If people wish to parrot what psychiatry has told them they 'have' as a label they're free to. None of this discounts that people can be screwed up mentally but that doesn't mean psychiatry knows what they're talking about. Research it yourself.
namidearest- You are so absolutely ignorant and blind...it sounds as though you are living in YOUR OWN DELUSION!!! Wake up!!! And do some research, this is absolutely biological proof of psychiatric disease!!! And it is a sickness....a sickness that 1 in 4 peole suffer from... Look around, it's people you know. And because you are so bloody ignorant you will keep living in your own delusion. You have no idea what it is like, give another 10 years and you yourself may be a statistic--I hope
you stigmatize yourselves, and you don't even know it. mental illness is a social construct. there is no biological proof of psychiatric disease, so when you describe yourselves as being "ill" and compare it to cancer, people see you and incapable of recovering, as genetically defective, and biologically different. The research on this topic back that up. The lies of bio-psychiatry have created this stigma. Stop objectifying yourselves.
@namidearest: While it's true that social and environmental factors play a roll in exacerbating symptoms there is more then enough proof to support a biological basis for most mental illnesses. Do the research instead of taking your information from the church of scientology (who by the way has a vested interest in denouncing the biological model, despite there being a plethora of evidence to support it.)
The portrayal of mentally ill individuals in our society is totally reprehensible. I am disgusted that we live in a soceity which encourages us to be ourselves and to accept everybody for who we are, yet we place labels on people who suffer from a disorder that many of us choose not to have. If only we had more people to advocate this message to the rest of the world, we could help more who are suffering to seek help.
as a mentally ill person who is facing everyday some of the most horrible stigma and most of it at the hands of canadian doctors. ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE!!!!!!! we are humans. we did not choose to be sick any more than a cancer patient. we are wonderful people just as we are. we should not have to change for you, there are things that we have that are unique and shouldn' t have to hide. I'm done hiding. Are you?
