Wow Open Eyes, thank you for this. I was misdiagnosed for 10 years. It never felt right. It was very hard to get the diagnosis changed. I was a lucky one though, and did. Very good and interesting article. I look forward to her book publication. That being said, I do believe there are mental health issues and illnesses. I myself have depression, and anxiety, trauma. I do think though, that she is right. It's not always a personal thing, but a social, familial issue. The way people relate and act around us has an affect!!! It did for me. And I have had terrible experiences with some therapists before. Therapists can be ****ed up.
I like how she says people who don't go the status quo are labelled mentally ill. Can be true. Like why should we have to work forty or more freaking hours a week to afford **** and live ok? That's not something that was even possible for me before. I can't fit in sometimes. I'm getting there. But I understand for the people not there.
