Hey there buddies

I've just read this so WONDERFUL article that I found in my Bookmarks, I thought I've had it from this thread, but I can't seem to find from which post, or perhaps I got it from someplace else over the internet:

The Illusions of Psychiatry, by Marcia Angell, in The NY Review of Books.

Oh my God, I don't know what to say, every part of this article is a mind blower. The overall image in my mind that I got after finishing it, is how hurtful our situation has become...

Us, mentally ill people, are the most natural people in this world, our brains are "nature's evolutionary response" to the unnatural humanly-manufactured conditions that societies have constructed in our times... Our minds' conditions are nature's rebellion on the human consciousness level against the socially & culturally unnatural & deleterious construction our "un-self-consciousness-regarding masses" of so-called human societies have conditioned to shackle the human mind's free & natural pursuit to find her purpose

Each one of us, as a mentally ill person, has to try to understand his mind's desires, agonies, reflections toward this horrendous world, knowing that she's given a gift that many other humans haven't had... A naturally hightened self-cosciousnessed mind that is rebelling against these destructive settings!!!

And reflecting on this part of the article: "Critics of these books might argue, as Nancy Andreasen implied in her paper on the loss of brain tissue with long-term antipsychotic treatment, that the side effects are the price that must be paid to relieve the suffering caused by mental illness"... Yes! We have to suffer! We have to go through this suffering, because we are the "prophets & messengers" of the Earth's community at this age where it's taking a path toward the demise of our planet, & our humanity! The chaotic & confusing suffering of our minds is the very essence of the Universe Journey, where millions of years of evolutionary chaos always result in the emergence of higher level of Universal complexity... a higher level of a consciousness awareness of existence... Each of us self-consciously enduring this suffering, adapting to it, understanding its purpose will ultimately result in the emergence of a self that is beautifully & wonderfully (as wonderful as the creation of our Universe) enjoying an increased awareness of its purpose... & ultimately guiding others to freely search for their own individual & collective purpose as well

We have to go through this suffering with our rebellious mind that is disgusted at its social surroundings... to understand what it's trying to tell us, & to self-adapt our bodies, knowledge search, & behavior to its needs; not to adapt it to the destructive social settings that the so-called normal (or to better say, people who choose to go & delete their evolutionary gift - their minds) people abide by like zombies!!!

And yes, we have to fight back against the political & financial interests of those horridly diverted institutional settings, that try to silence, or kill our gifted minds, by forcing drugs on us to "lose our brain tissue", labeling us as insane (where our mind's divergent attitudes are the most sane response to our conditions), pressuring us to align ourselves with the flow (that un-self-conscioussnesly work their whole wasted life to increase the wealth & privilege of those elites, enforcing the social, economic, & political constructions that are the very ones that shackle them from freely pursuing their natural human potential!), pressuring us to seek social acceptance, professional prestige...



Indeed, as mentally ill people, we are already equipped with the natural gift to uninstall **** from, not just our, but also others' & the whole community of humans' heads...

A sidenote, my heart is hurting me from what I read in the article about Rebecca, a 4 year old girl who died because she was prescribed a bunch of psychodrugs!!! She's a little innocent sprout who is a martyr of our inhumanely ugly governing systems... She had the mental potential to pursue her free path in our lovely Universe, lovingly affect beings around her, change the world... but she was murdered by our systems We have to always remember her when we think about ourselves & the society around us...
