Meet Thomas Szasz

Controversial psychiatrist Professor Thomas Szasz wrote The Myth of Mental Illness in 1961

If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

Szasz argued throughout his career that mental illness is a metaphor for human problems in living, and that mental illnesses are not "illnesses" in the sense that physical illnesses are

In Szasz's view, people who are said by themselves or others to have a mental illness can only have, at best, "problems in living".

I got the impression he opposed the psychiatric industry and that it seemed to be inventing illnesses to sell cures, much like Big Pharma. But I don't see the source now.

You can see psychiatry pushing to expand its empire during this plandemic hoax. Never let a good crisis go to waste. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/dec/27/covid-poses-greatest-threat-to-mental-health-since-second-world-war

Gimme more money. Lots.

I have been subject to involuntary medication and now, with the covid vax, the whole world may be about to find out exactly what it is like. Not pleasant and not helpful.

I hope to help others to help me to help everyone.

Self pity has become a virtue, as manipulated through digital media and "group think". A modern vigilante mob for self destruction. Add some blame game (divide and conquer) to retard healing (closure) which will destroy organic self defense and the survival instincts that regulate common sense. The end result is a manufactured narcissist who is emotionally triggered to become self destructive. Dare I say a suicide murder weapon? Child's play for any with malicious intent.
