Featuring Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, the author of "10 Simple...
There has never been any medical test for the "detection" of ADHD. To this day, the political act of labeling and "treating" a child against his will, should be seen as troublesome to any society claiming itself to be free and open. The involutary, coercive nature of psychiatry, under the "right ...

Labeling the individual-whether that be a child or adult-is medical prescription, in that the individual has been offered a form of medical (psychiatric) absolution, for a real or perceived failure to flourish. In the child, of course, non-conformity to the institutional and programmatic requirem...

Depression & Bipolar Myths Part 1, Psychology with Dr. John Breeding & Anna Miller
Depression & Bipolar Myths Part 1, Psychology with Dr. John Breeding & Anna Miller
Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. Psychologists talks with Anna Miller,...
Mental illnesses presuppose the material existence of a "mind", traditionally a verb in the English language, as in "minding the store or minding one's business". And although psychiatry claims to be treating brain diseases of sorts, even with the use of coercions and psychiatric oppressions, it ...

I don't agree wholesale with the likes of Whitaker and Breggin, et.al., as the position of this newly emerged "new left" critique still adheres to mental illness as a disease and, as such, of some biological aetiology or other. No test, to date, has settled the latter assertion of the MH professi...

ADHD Kids Before and After
Children with ADHD practice the Transcendental Meditation technique.
The debauchment of psychiatric medicine lies principally in its insistence of mental illness as being a physical illness, rather than a metaphor, a myth. So, in all truth, it might be said that mental illness is a question of "being" not of "having". The latter is certainly true of being "disable...

@PsychHunter The myth of mental illness is in the warp and woof of our culture! There is a need to placate this collective fear of madness, just as the church of old concerned itself with the care and concern of a man's soul.

Your assertion, or, more precisely, that of psychiatric "critics" (apologists in sheeps clothing) make of the drug-psychosis debate, hinges on the same myth of mental illness. Whether one is talking of the old "new left" of the likes of Laing (Foucault?), or the new "new left", in the likes of Br...

I would go further and propose, as Dr. Thomas Szasz originally posited, that psychiatry's mission, as secular society's social engineer, is the altering of the individual so as to alter the social. The latter fits nicely into the collectivist-coercive features of the pseudo-liberal psychiatric en...

@Deeinct1 Sorry, but your counter-assertions are not definitive.

@houdiniDX Two reasons why psychiatry will never "cure" mental illnesses and disoders: first, there is no diseased brain (mind) to be treated or cured, and concomitantly, if a disease marker were discovered for, say, ADHD, this would then be a neurological condition, which would then be a bona fi...
