more nurse to patient ratios?

If people are misbehaving or dangerously unhappy doesn't it make more sense to examine their situation rather than assume there is something wrong with their brain? If they are not in breach of the law or don't want to be subjected to scrutiny and interference leave them be.

Stuff like Soteria only exists because there is a notion that there is such a thing as mental illness. Soteria is hardly better than the idea that it would be better if only the psychtroopers had more nurses and more efficient facilities.

It's all rubbish. The whole bloody thing.

I agree with you that there is not such thing as mental illness. Theres no proof scientifically for it and it just dosnt exist. Yet I do believe Soteria house is not all rubbish, I think there are ppl that experience extreme states/mood (probably from trauma and a sick society) and places like soteria from what I've read sounded good to me. Id rather be there than at a facility that is trying to force me with injections, put me on a cto and look down at me. What we need to look at is WHY the person is experiencing these things in the first place, whats happning in your life, have u been thru trauma/abuse? How can we help you with these situations? Do u just want me to sit with u for a while? would u like to talk about it or go for a walk? I think Soteria was a good idea.


Take schizophrenia, supposedly the horror of horrors, the thing that supposedly exists and is used by the psychtroopers to terrify and suborn the public into handing over money. It's garbage. It's a bunch of people who have been bullied and confused into believing in the bizarrely supernatural within a setting where it's OK to believe in the acceptably supernatural. They have been bullied into a confused state by people who use the belief in superstition to hurt people. This is evil.

Everywhere I go I am likely to come across a bunch of schizos rabbiting on about crystals and spirits and effing Echardt Tolle, may that idiot fall over and choke.

And if it's not schizophrenia it's teen suicide that's used to bludgeon us into meekly accepting the supposed need for more government meddling.

Same thing. Bullying or else confused gutless parents insist on instilling a garbage magical world into the minds of their children and then freak out when it seems not to work as their feeble minds might have hoped. They can always find an ancient relative that was mad according to family tradition.

Mental illness only exists for people who believe in magic.
