  4. Psychiatry’s playbook is about to get torn up | Science Quickly Podcast


    I have been saying for over a decade now that this "mental disorders" business is indeed a lot of business and not much science. You cannot categorize people like that and put them into boxes like ADHD, Depression, Bipolar, etc.. People's mental states are far more complex.

    But it works well to have these labels in our trade-based society where everything needs to be in boxes, so that insurance companies, drug companies, or companies who employ people can "understand" that Jen is depressed, will prescribe her some pills through an insurance company, and Jen can get some paid leave.

    Yet in the process no one understood what made Jen feel that way or how to fix her problems. Maybe she has little money, little time, maybe she is stress that her rent increased or her brain is a mush because her phone is consuming her life with ads and data collection. Trades trades trades.

    Now Jen can anesthetize herself with some prescribed medicine, and can get back to her life soon.

    So WOW now finally the people in charge of the bible of mental disorders, DSM, are starting to see through their thin diagnosis practice and say perhaps things need to change since you cannot do any medical test to see if someone has ADHD, or is depressed or whatever...

    How about (I know wild idea) when people have problems we try to understand what causes these problems and try to help them!? Housing, access to free healthcare, access to a fucking life that is not about being a worker!

    I wrote a book all about this tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo… and a smaller one too tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

    And had a great chat with a psychologist and psychiatrist -


    Help the fucking people and stop pretending that we can fit in these narrow boxes.

This book contends that an individual has a mental disorder if and only if (1) they are・in the relevant sense・unable to respond adequately to their available (apparent) reasons in their thinking, feeling, or acting, and (2) they are harmed by the condition underlying or resulting from that inability."
