Good God. Anyone who has mental illness will tell you of course it's not a myth. Treatment in the States is unfortunately right back where it was in the 1870's though--with so many of our nation's seriously mentally ill in prisons. And that's the truth.

Can you tell me more about what you meant about how Capitalist societies keep people on disability unemployed and "sick." I didn't have time to read the assignment.

And thank you for bringing this up! Fascinating!
