This video says 1 in 10 suffer mental illness. Later videos say 1 in 4. These are not 'illnesses' and not 'diseases'. The modern psychiatric and even psychological profession knows NOTHING about what these are. I'm a psychology student. I've experienced depression, generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress, borderline personality, social anxiety, and these are just a few. They are NOT diseases or illnesses. The experiences are real yes, but they are resulting from problems in living in society.

@Ragnarok187 They're organic brain disorders. If you've read any peer reviewed journals, you'd know that. Maybe you should stop trying to sound credible by saying you're a "psychology student". There is a century worth of research and evidence based treatment to help people with these very real illnesses.

[Ragnarok187]

@MrGrevy Maybe you should stop sucking pharmaceutical industry wang by saying there's research and evidence when there isn't any. There are few if any studies supporting the chemical imbalance theory or biological origins. Tell me, what is the best medical test to do on someone to see if they have a mental illness? You say they are 'organic brain disorders' and 'very real illnesses'. If they're real, what tests do they have to show a person has one of these 'very real illnesses'?

[MrGrevy]

Are you really this thick? I can't tell if you're trolling. Of course there is peer reviewed research and even the AMA supports my position. Of course, to you, it's all a conspiracy so why bother pointing anything out? Can something exist without having a "test" to show it? Yes. And even then, people are misdiagnosed all the time ( I know, another conspiracy). You seem very juvenile and angry. I'm guessing you feel you were treated unfairly or unjustly by those eeevil pharmaceutical companies?

[Ragnarok187]

@MrGrevy So in other words you can't tell me a single medical test to check for any 'mental illness'. Why can't you tell me just 1? Cause none exist. How can you prove someone has a 'chemical imbalance' when no such imbalance exists (before the drugs), when there are no tests, and when no true disease existed.

I've not juvenile, but a little angry sure. I have access to the research, and the research supports what I'm saying. Psychiatry is based on lies. The drugs do more harm than good.

we watched this is PSHE in my school. at 0:10 my bestfriend looked over at me. i looked down at my bok, ashamed.

[Lunarlaserranging]

there kind of like sales people for the pharmacutical industry. The last thign you wanna be doing is popping loads of chemical pills which are mostly secreted by the living. MOst people actually imagine they are depressed. One psychologist actually proved you cannot be happy without being depressed sometimes. Its what nature intended and its in all of us. Everybody is depressed but some just don't understand it

[MrGrevy]

@Lunarlaserranging It's about the depth and severity of the depression you non-critical thinking retard.

[Duvmasta]

I have acute episodic depression

[sdclub100]

@Duvmasta It's hard having depression, I know...for a long time my mom suffered with depression, and it was really hard on me as well. If you ever need to talk, or just someone to listen, message me anytime.

I'm praying for you :)

They will hand you pills and appointment cards- send you out to be mocked and called stupid and such- those who dont suicide from ignorance and stigma become hermits as I have done- they dance at the country club and do nothing about cruelty to so called mentally ill- I became better when I tossed most of the pills and saw my mind as creative- not "sick"-

[detectivepope]

@Amethysting same here, I went for help and told my friends. They all just left when they had no reason to help because the doctors where taking care of me (apparently), which in turn left me alone making any problem I had 1000 times worse.

[MrGrevy]

@Amethysting Depends on who you go to.
