  • wheres the rest?

  • 'll quote the guy on this video ... "Once someone's behaviour deviated from the majority of society he or she was labeled as mad."

    This is what the problem is with the world, what makes the world think that the brain should work a certain way and that if it doesn't then your brain is "malfunctioning"!!!? See this is where i get frustrated because here we are slapping labels and disorders on people when all it is is that the person has a different personality than other people.

  • Sounds pleasant...

  • @vulgarcowpower it's not always dangerous. It can become dangerous when your views become reality but the law will put the person away for doing certain things regardless of whether you've actually hurt someone or not. Take for instance a necrophiliac , they aren't dangerous ...think about it . What's dangerous about someone who acts out their fantasy of having a submissive partner or maybe they have been either rejected or been heartbroken so much that they develop the morbid fascination?

  • @dylan111291 yeah but... when ur "personality" becomes dangerous to you or anyone, thats when it becomes a problem.

  • Pre Historic? Like before history?

  • @DeanYezir my quality of life is affected, yes, but compared to the symptoms of my illness, Ill take the drugs thanks.

  • Your taking it out of context. I work in a state hospital, and the behavior of some of our clients is abnormal/"MAD" call it what you will. there is a diff. in someone having a goofy or different personality and someone who has a sever mental illness coming at you w/ any kind of object to stab you w/ or smearing feces on the wall because the dont know any better. Yes I agree we label everyone and everything but this man is NOT talking about an average everyday person w/ a diff. personality

  • The modern treatments are almost like chemical assylums. I have a mental illness and the drugs I take keep me so tired that I may as well be in a hospital or an institution.
