Now they use DRUGS to have almost the same affect as a LOBOTOMY, the future will have physical LOBOTOMY and or a DRUG LOBOTOMY... This is why SUICIDE can be a blessing, before YOU CURSE me out, think about all the options YOU have...
They just don't know how to help these people nor do they care. They see these people as defective from the start, so somehow disabling them to be more "manageable". Now they just recklessly drug them to the point they become to tired to do anything eventually destroying them physically. It has nothing to do to cure them or even treat them. Its to warehouse them for profit, and tranquilize them so they end up being like a piece of furniture requiring minimal attention. No one makes an effort to help them.
And they see that. They see they are in a world that abuses them to capitalize. A world that cant help them, doesn't hear them nor understands them. Your pain, your suffering, your problems becomes someone's home, car, someone's paycheck. In such a world the mentally ill reach a conclusion that the only way out is suicide, either immediate or gradually through substance abuse.
One of the notions that needs to change among, many, many, many is that mental illness is even a defect. Yes it has horrible symptoms, no doubt about it, but its respect, kindness and compassion that improve their condition not abuse. Give these people are psychiatrist that will listen, one who can think and a community where they feel valued just for existing and they will flourish.
Semi off topic but I thought this one was a good read:
