The single way to get rid of all mental illness.

And the one thing which everyone avoids.
Recognize God, accept God in your life, and you are healed. It is that simple.
Not that I've done this either, else I wouldn't be here.
Still, good to recognize at least.

Sure, accept God in your life, but no spooks, no muckety-mucks, no holy men past or present, no haunting spirits, no idols living or dead, no magicians and no magic. That befits the Prime Directive (ie. the first of the 10 Commandments).

In fact, the very term "your life" loses meaning since God owns the entirety, lock stock and barrel. (And someday he'll surely reclaim the Earth back from us ape-men!)
In reality there's only one true mental illness, and that's choosing Psych as your major.

Unholy Assault: Psychiatry vs. Religion


Today, family values, morality
and religion have been attacked
and made to seem old-fashioned
by an insidious psychiatric
"authority."

Societal upheaval (crime,
violence, widespread immorality)
has increased coincident with
the degradation of religion
by psychiatry.

The theory that "man is an ani-
mal" with no soul, which is the
basis of psychiatry
, was originally
taught at Leipzig University,
Germany, in the late 1 800s
and then further promoted by
Pavlov, Freud and others.

By reducing spirituality
to psychological (brain) factors,
psychiatry has nearly sabotaged
religion as a civilizing,
cultural force.

While I loved your post about that Harvard creep promoting Risperdol for big business at the expense of children, your post above doesn't win my kudos. While I share your contempt for the Psych uber-command, the word psychiatrist means literally soul doctor. Yes, it's all a sham and corrupt and a crock but don't go and heap religion in with morality, as the two are oceans apart. Religion is mostly about adoring false gods (by name). Psych is largely about adoring demagogues/icons (by name) and flatly accepting their judgments, however unscientific, and doing precisely their bidding.
In reality there's only one true mental illness, and that's choosing Psych as your major.

I shudder when I read that. I always makes me wonder where such a theory came from. :o The irony is when you treat people as such, they do not get better or gravitate toward tame behaviorism, rather they began to exhibit the very symptoms they claim people have. Such theories help give rise to abusive psychiatry and the science of behavior modification that viewed mental illnesses as needing to be treated with punishment. B.F. Skinner and others further built upon such notions.

To the OP, IMO, I am glad you have recognized this :D If a patient is being helped by God or Religion, psychiatry should certainly be respect of this.

IMO, I think one of the keys to recovery is finding something that you believe in. Something that you have faith in, something you can trust, learn from and feel good about.


Just as a friendly reminder to others in this thread, lets try and keep the subject on anti-psych/bettering psychiatry rather than having this become a religious debate. I know this is a very dynamic topic. Speaking from a neutral place everyone is different, with different views, beliefs, feelings and so forth. Lets be respectful of that.

Thanks :D

Posts like this infuriate me. Bible thumpers have no right to even post on such subjects as mental illness.

You go pray to your invisible "sky daddy" for the fix. Go do it at your Church, and leave the rest of us alone.

I was hoping this thread would be more productive. Unfortunately it looks like its starting to be less so :(

I think its best to close this before it veers to far off.


My apologies.
