There is mental illness.

However! These days, everyone and their Mom has decided that mild feelings of discomfort, insecurity about one's self, and emotional distress now qualify as "mental health issues" and everybody gets to be a pussy about everything, citing their "mental health."

"I'm lazy don't feel like working, so I'll go on LinkedIn or social media claim I'm taking some time off for my mental health and gaslight the economy for not allowing everyone the ability to take 6 months off a year for their "mental health."

“Mental Illness” is a learned behavior. See also: “Gender Dysphoria”.

From the guy that loves to hear himself talk.

Most of his points can be made in a simple paragraph, but he can bore you to death with the same points being made in an hour plus video.

Your fault for watching a video when you wanted to read an article. Try Thomas Szasz' The Myth of Mental Illness if you want a book form.

I watched several of his video's a long time ago, as well as many other e-celebs. It's pretty easy to figure out most of them have have very little real information. Mark Dice and Paul Watson are the only video's I watch occasionally, mostly for comedic value. I get the majority of my information from reading.

Strange, I remember that long time ago in Italy during left leaning government minister of health, say something similar. Mentally illness don't exist. He actually start to close mental institutions and release patient in the world. This don't end well.

It's important to distinguish amongst learned behavior, assholery, and illness.

If you were molested as a child and now claim to be bulbasaurasexual for attention, you learned that acting that way garners you attention. You dont have an illness.

If you scream and punch people who dont kowtow to your whims, you dont have a mental illness you're just choosing to act like an asshole.

If a blind, objective, quantifiable test can be administered to diagnosis a problem, then you have an illness. Like hypertension or tuberculosis.

Psychiatrist scammers love to call learned behavior and assholery "mental illness" so they can slap a medical billing code on it. If they just honestly called someone an attention whore or an asshole...there's no billing code and hence no way to bilk insurers or the government for giving some douche canoe psychotropic meds.

I know couple psychiatrists and psychologists, some of them are my 'beer brothers'. However we many times talk about mental issues. Better to say they talk I listen, read some book they give to me. Hugh..... I only know that I don't know. And they are just little better than me. Seriously during time psychiatry gather great knowledge, there are tons and tons of books. But in reality they walk in dark. Of course they will admit such stuff only after many drinks to someone which are close to them. More interesting are stories from couple guys which work in mental institutions. Because all this Dr. Prof. etc. mostly seat in offices. But there are people which actually do dirty work and deal with mentally ill people.

Not even going to bother watching. There are way too many examples of mental illness. Calling it something else isn't charging anything either.

Illness needs to be testable and falsifiable. E.g. to diagnose you with hypertension, you'd test your blood pressure. If your BP is 150/100, you have hypertension. If it's 100/70, you donot have hypertension. The patient's subjective feelings on the matter are irrelevant and they'd receive the same diagnosis if you gave the test results to a physician who'd never met them.

What psychiatry scammers call "mental illness" isn't testable. You can't administer an objective test for e.g. "depression", and you can't administer a test to show someone doesnt have "depression" (falsifiability).

Schizophrenia. It checks all your little boxes, you kike.

Show me a test for it...from before they're given psychotropic meds. Research has shown brain damage in skizophrenics, but to my knowledge this has only been done after they were medicated so it's impossible to tell if the brain damage was caused by the skizophrenia or the mesication.

If you watched a few minutes you'd understand the claim and the point of the video (drugging people for things that are not a physical disease).

Or even definable as "disease". You can test for tuberculosis. That's a disease. You cant test for the crap in the DSM. E.g. does Little Timmy have "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" or just shitty parents? Psychiatrists arent administering a scientifically valid test, just making a wild guess and drugging him into submission.

Yeah that's not what the click bait title indicates. I skip bullshit like this. There are all kinds of legitimately mentally ill people out there.
