*Ting Ting* ahem

Get in 'ere

there's no such thing as 'mentally ill'

that's just stupid street slang

you've either got an organic psychiatric disorder, or you don't

plus, most people who "appear to be mentally ill" simply have behavioral disorders....

meaning they can stop the behavior

it's a choice to continue behaving that way, The total opposite of a psychiatric disorder

*Ting Ting* ahem

>>942405785 (OP)

and when it comes to organic psychiatric disorders, there are really only two:

schizophrenia
And bipolar disorder

The DSM-5 decided to include autism as an organic psychiatric disorder but I completely disagree

autism isn't anything like schizophrenia or bipolar, and isn't actually a psychiatric disorder

It's a communication disorder
autism is a struggle to connect with people

But all that personality disorder bullshit? That's all in the behavioral disorder category

>>942406141

see the thin white section of the DSM-V?

that represents how much of the book is about psychiatric disorders

all the purple part represents behavioral disorder bullshit

like OCD ..
obsessive-compulsive disorder is not a psychiatric disorder... It's simply a behavior

very little of the DSM-V deals with psychiatric disorders at all

it's called the diagnostic statistical manual psychiatric disorders

but only a very thin section involves psychiatric disorders

>Someone who calls a body of emperical research "bullshit" is an expert about it on 4chan.
Sure why not.

even dissociative fugue is a behavioral disorder...

even though the person forgets who they are...

that's still not a psychiatric disorder

those people are simply engaging in a behavior as an inverted inside-out way of not resolving unresolved emotional issues from their past ..

>>942406492
AGAIN: behavioral disorders are bullshit

all the empirical research on earth doesn't change the fact that BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS CAN BE STOPPED....

.....BY STOPPING THE BEHAVIOR

they're NOT psychiatric disorders at all
they're just people behaving like douchebags

>>942406492

..... and I never used the word "expert"

..... so don't even try putting words in my mouth

>>942406492
OCD example:
flicking the light switch 127 times

the cure:
stop flicking the light switch

washing hands 47 times

the cure:
STOP IT

>>942406951
What's the cure to denial

there's also CHEMICAL PSYCHOSIS
as opposed to organic

like meth, or cocaine, or other drugs

these days, psychiatrists spend most new patient appointments trying to rule out meth use to determine if it's organic mania, etc etc
