Sorry for treating you unfairly at times. i have just got very frustrated at what i see as mental illness denial, & with a lot of what has been going on in the UK with the past 11 years of Austerity / Tories / Privatisation of the NHS / Welfare reforms / social care crisis etc.

I hate being treated unfairly - it's why I fight back (as you do too)- but it's ok. I know that there is more to you though you push me to my limits sometimes 😏.
And I know what frustration can do to us. And am getting some taste of internet communication and interaction.
Also I may sometimes read a comment that is light hearted but to me is aggressive . (We can only imagine tone of voice behind printed words).This realisation came to me when you described yourself as 'easy going' in a post!

Nothing that unreasonable that i posted over the past 20 years on-line. Yes a lot missing from human interactions from on-line communications.

(We can only imagine tone of voice behind printed words).This realisation came to me when you described yourself as 'easy going' in a post! i 100% agree with exposing the darker sides of psychiatry / the mental health system & poor treatment. i 100% agree with needing far better understandings & approaches to all areas of mental health treatment. i do Not agree with any form of mental illness denial. i do not agree that biomedical psychiatry / pharma is wholly wrong. i think that we need a far more highly nuanced debate around all these areas. i see nothing wrong in accepting schizophrenia as a no fault genetic brain condition / severe disability & accepting the need for medication & appropriate treatment. Granted that different people see their own conditions / experiences & causes for it all differently - full allowances should be made for every perspective.

It was applied to those of us whose said it wss the world, social, political, environmental ...that was causing us distress that was unbearable. But, psychiatrists used it instead as evidence of a biological basis to a psychiatric disorder (may say more on the depression thread). Endogenous depression occurs without the presence of stress or trauma. In other words, it has no apparent outside cause. Instead, it may be primarily caused by genetic and biological factors. This is why endogenous depression might also be referred to as “biologically based” depression. www.healthline.com › health Endogenous Depression I have challenged this right from the time it was applied to me in the late 1960s.

Not agree with any form of mental illness denial. i do not agree that biomedical psychiatry / pharma is wholly wrong.
So, it is mental illness denial to say that biomedical psychiatry/pharma is PARTIALLY wrong?

So, it is mental illness denial to say that biomedical psychiatry/pharma is PARTIALLY wrong? i'm not sure that it is partially wrong per se, it is simply overly focused on certain aspects of mental illness. i see my condition in part as a biological condition / illness / disability. i can also see psychogenic, sociological & spiritual aspects to the condition as well. Whole person, involving mind, body, soul, spirit & environment. i see the diagnosis & medication as necessary & the lesser of evils within a risk / benefit scenario within the realities of the current society / system. i would love to live in some wonderful World / society / system / civilization - that is genuinely advanced / civilized & thriving for all life / people - But the facts are that we don't. i have to survive within what the realities of this World are. The same arguments i think get nowhere - & won't get anywhere until everyone agrees on an integral model / approach. Same as the crisis within global civilization. We come together in Unity & Cooperation for the mutual benefit of all life or we'll destroy ourselves as a species.

So, it is mental illness denial to say that biomedical psychiatry/pharma is PARTIALLY wrong? Modern international psychiatry / Governing health authorities have now long taken an integral model as standard, & i don't disagree with it & what they actually say, all the consultant psychiatrists that i have spoken with i am in agreement. i think the problem is again the masses in many regards. It seems entirely logical & rational to me to take an integral model as standard & to work towards integrated comprehensive health, welfare & social care systems for all people. As with so many areas i don't see really what the argument is about?

What i have campaigned around is for an integration of the hard & soft sciences & for comprehensive integrated health / social security / social care systems - integrating front end / primary care services with healing homes. Integrating all areas of biology, psychology, sociology & spirituality.
Integrating science & spirituality.
Mind, Body, Soul, Spirit & Environment - Whole person.
Proper funding & resources for integrated health services for all people.
Not sure why that is an issue for anyone?

Online mental health forums can be helpful for some individuals, but they may not be the best option for everyone. Here are some potential benefits and drawbacks to consider:
Benefits:
Access to peer support: Online mental health forums can provide a space for individuals to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. This can help reduce feelings of isolation and provide a sense of community and support. Anonymity: Online forums can offer a degree of anonymity, which may make it easier for some individuals to share their experiences and feelings without fear of judgment or stigma. Information and resources: Mental health forums can also provide access to helpful information, resources, and coping strategies. Drawbacks:
Quality of information: Not all information found on online mental health forums is accurate or evidence-based. It is important to be cautious and seek out reliable sources of information. Triggering content: Online forums can sometimes contain triggering content, such as descriptions of self-harm or suicide, which may not be helpful or appropriate for everyone. Lack of professional guidance: Online forums are not a substitute for professional medical or mental health treatment. While peer support can be helpful, it is important to work with a healthcare professional to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Overall, online mental health forums can be a helpful resource for some individuals, but it is important to approach them with caution and to seek out reliable information and support. It is also important to prioritize professional medical or mental health treatment when necessary.
