Mental Illness as paranormal phenomena?

Has anyone else considered the possibility that mental illness is a paranormal phenomena? For example what is the difference between a medium and a schizophrenic who hears voices. I would say that the only difference is the mentally ill find their experiences overwhelming and distressing at times. Most psychiatrists would consider astral projection a form of mental illness. They simply don't recognise the existence of this kind of phenomena. Also is anyone aware of the recent pentagon study into ufo's? This study proves their existence beyond all reasonable doubt. So if someone sees a psychiatrist now and tells them they are being abducted by aliens, there is now proof that it could really be happening and not just be a delusion!

Please let me know your thoughts, I am just new to this forum. By the way I have been diagnosed with every possible disorder over the years, have finally extricated myself from the clutches of psychiatry and am now in the process of trying to reduce my meds.

Welcome to the forum


Anything is possible. Quantum mechanics has opened a window into another reality, perhaps literally I might add. Second the universe is so large, that given infinite time and space with only finite variables the existence of life on other planets skyrockets to near 100%. Remember that at one point we were not sure if other planets even existed beyond the solar system. Now if we have reached such technological progress in 200 years, imagine what other intelligent races might have been able to accomplish given greater time. Space travel is inevitable I would think. While I myself have never been abducted (based on not having recollection, knocking on wood lol) I am in no position to automatically dismiss it just because I have not personally experienced it. I however have lived through things that few can understand and few can believe- even find myself convinced fact is stranger than any fiction- so I have learned to keep an open mind.


Which brings us to psychiatry which in its foundation has not changed in over 100 years and based on ideology going back even further. Causing immense pain by de-legitimizing what might be a real trauma- and destroying any brilliant that can progress the human race for the better. The modern day unapologetic burning at the stake for saying the earth is round.

Thanks for replying. I agree completely. What makes psychiatry so dangerous is that it is based on ideology and not science. It is no different to religious ideology and religious persecution. And in de-legitimising trauma it subsequently dehumanises people. But the problem is it is masquerading as science and it has the public completely spellbound. And what is more baffling is that psychiatrists have managed to brainwash themselves.

I am in full agreement with the above. Its blatantly none science yet the public blindly believes everything it has to say. Criticize it and you get ripped to pieces left and right. Its a self sustaining, self healing dogma- the truth is fervently condemned to be a lie, and lies are surmised to be truth. The person calling attention to that is dismissed as being ignorant. Nothing can change it, because anyone who does is automatically unworthy of doing so.

Brainwashing? Its safe to say psychiatrists are the victim of that. As well as many patients- where that becomes evident when you challenge psychiatry in front of them. While psychiatry itself may be a farce, those behind it are not dumb. They are experts on the mind and human behavior knowing very well how to keep people on the outside believing and those on the inside trapped within it.

Interesting that you should mention those who are behind it. I know there must be many within the pharmaceutical industry who are aware of the false claim to a biological basis of mental illness. I am a big believer in conspiracies especially when it comes to systems of control like psychiatry. Who else do you think is manipulating the public in regards to this? I don't know much about the organisational framework of psychiatry, but do you think there are people very high up who are deliberately lying to us?

I am sure- but selling a no cure is major profit.

Harmful effects aside, the primary function of psychotropics is to either sedate or stimulate. All they do is mask the aliment often along with normal mental functions. One analogy to this is giving massive amounts of opioid analgesics for everything from broken bones to heart attacks to eczema. Patient no longer displays signs of being in pain. Patient may even appear joefull from the high. It works! Patient is said to have a body chemical imbalance which the morphine corrects. Assuming the patients live, withdrawal symptoms stemming from the long term use only gives proof to that theory. As such the patient will need to be on opioids indefinitely. Genetics are believed to be the cause of this imbalance as scientists everyday are busy pinpointing those exact genes and will one day have have an answer. Med students are fed sexy lectures on the pre-synaptic mechanism of action; mu, delta and kappa receptors; antagonists, ect, ect. Critics are met along the lines with "so you want people to be in agony? you are a heartless, sadistic person. Go find another victim with your stone age babble"

That is the chemical imbalance theory in a nut shell.

Based on old text books I have read and along with what I personally lived through- along with the stories of others- without a doubt yes. It is impossible for me to believe that it isn't an elaborate lie especially when it becomes blatantly obvious once you see the deception mechanism and know exactly what they are trying to hide. Its like an architect, painter or musician. Once you see his work, you spot it instantly when it comes up again.
