The article on wikipedia on Taboo talks about things like incest being pulled both ways, one focusing on consensual agreement and the other heading for more prohibition. At the end of the day, whatever methods or analysis we employ to understand mental issues, that takes everyone's corporations, in some ways, DSM methodically expands to catch and condemn innocent surviving souls, on the other side of the society, of course people like to hear about more normal stuff, what's not scary on the news medias these days?

Whatever we need to figure out, it has to be methodical. Things are too mechanical and science oriented for the moment, systematically these works that does its own works may appear as something and helping, but will neglect the personal growth, the path to the enlightening essence that we all hope to pick up along this journey we call life.

Getting physical check-ups and you'll be able to talk about it. As serious as it gets, it gets tougher to choose whom you'd talk with, it seems a matter of degrees and personal in nature. I also think it's safer for the public to not know the details of current diagnostic manuals, statistics and data can be manipulated. What does anyone want from this taboo? It seems to me people are asking for mental-bad-health, some blogger who's a psychology student might say, "Oh, I know mental health issues, I've dissected how mind works in simple 10 steps, let's follow that up and you'll be happier."

It's all inclusive, isn't it though? Pop psychology is all the rage and we also have new age happiness crap, anyone can fake and have mental illnesses, facts are out there like that. Cut the crap, these would be the words to the agenda/profit driven rotten apple pie they call American Psychiatry, it doesn't have to be American Apple Pie, like that, and what this reminds me of? Pi is irrational and we have proof of it!

Within this short history of psychiatry, the DSM got fatter and fatter, it can't be too healthy. These shape shifting characters in the book are not real persons, one says there's an epidemic and the other says, no it's a myth, they been doing this campaigning for decades while creating more helpless patients, throwing pills at them, shredding the way of life that some people may have needed to burn to be reborn.

EDIT! : So I can't stop thinking, it works like that! I've just had additional thoughts. Aside from obvious family/friends support and stuff, things like meanness or unreasonableness have to be taken into account when this discussion is put on the table. How about asking back direct-ly, like are you saying that because....? Nobody sees through the lies, we can't completely blame someone who might say "Take your pills and don't think about it.". It's supposed to work and if it didn't, who do we have left to blame? Human minds are not uniform, "Don't think about it." that's just an advice where you have a choice of whether or not one's willing to take and try to follow. Making excuses or compromising on our freedom, or say, being out of control in our minds can be observed through, the subjective point of view, provided that some of us are going through daily lives on a reasonably acceptable level, it's this irreconcilable notion that someone might think that we can freely talk about mental health issues thinking others are not educated enough, there's a reason that majority of folks don't have medical degrees, nobody listens, really. How about obesity issues? Scientific discovery cured it, then we can all cheer us up and celebrate, we'd be treating each other better. It'd be just a sad sad news, right? If mental health issues don't get resolved. People can be allergens for mentally ill folks, put the labels on them in your mental note, appeal to your local politicians so your employers won't act so like slave masters. I rest my case.
