Why is there an Anti-Psych Forum but no Forum for Politics?

Open discussion about the Anti-Psychiatry Movement and related topics. This includes the opposition to forced treatment and hospitalization as well as the belief that Psychiatric Medication does more harm than good. Please note that these topics are controversial and therefore this forum may offend some people. This is not the belief of Psych Forums or Get Mental Help and this forum was posted to offer a safe place to discuss these beliefs.

So you want to discuss society's effects on our mental health? That topic is already being discussed all over this forum, there are a bunch of topics about that. You wanted a politics forum and that is not suitable here. If you have a problem and want to blame it on society then you can go to the appropriate disorder's forum and post. Politics isn't that related to mental health and thus such a forum doesn't have a place here. You were already told that.

...but this is a Psychological help website dude, and I already said that the forums here are based on the DSM (Diagnostic and Ststistics Manual). THe anti-psychiatry movement is mentioned/define in the DSM; the anti-society one isn't.

:x There is a forum for mental health because it effect's alot of people and it help's them to be able to discuss it with other's.
You can be born mentally ill it is proven and for most people it is genetic. You need to look into your fact's before stating them. People with mental health illness suffer alot ESPECIALLY when they are BORN with their illness.
If you have a problem with mentally ill people you should not have entered this forum

I do believe there are forums for all the issues you raise above. But surely, the forums here are all about psych. What you're complaining about is more like someone going to church and asking the pastor why his church doesn't have strip shows on stage. Well, there are strip clubs that cater for that sort of thing.It's about context.'Seems you took a wrong turn and ended up in here to me.so are you gonna kick yo' self out or should all we "psycho's" do that for you. Hell hath no fury like this bi-polar man scorned.

Do I have to assume that you really believe you'd have the same mental problems if you had grown up some centuries ago, or with some african tribe?
