The Truth about Mental Disorders.
Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses how mental disorders are created by the American Psychiatric Association and listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders.
Disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety Disorders, etc. are voted into existence by APA committees.
The underlying assumption of biological psychiatry is that mental illness is biologically based despite the fact that no solid science has been able to identify biological markers for mental illnesses.

There are methods ... ( 4 weeks ago by maciejwrotek)

There are methods to diagnose brain abnormalities, called PET, f MRI scanns that show brain activity and blood flow. I don't know why psychiatrists don't use them to look at brain. There is a doctor Amen, who uses scans.

@maciejwrotek Let's ... ( 3 weeks ago by KapitanoStuff)

@maciejwrotek Let's say you have a patient with symptom X, and pattern A of bloodflow to part C of the brain. Another patient has the same symptoms but different flow, and a third had different symptoms but similar flow. What exactly have the brainscans told you?
-
Oh, and how did you decide what were 'symptoms' in the first place?

It's hardly ... ( 3 weeks ago by KapitanoStuff)

It's hardly surprising that notions of "abnormal behavior" change with culture, as notions of "normal behavior" change with culture.

Do I have Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or am I independent when someone in power wishes I were not? Do I have dyslexia or did I fall behind in school because of my homelife? Am I delinquent, or am I trying to fit in with the cool kids who offend their parents with tokenistic rebellion?

Oh, and am I manifesting Resistance by asking these questions?

@maciejwrotek It might help if your question were related in some way to the point being made. Why do I think the scan will look like *what*, exactly?

@KapitanoStuff If U look for example on depression, there is global hypoperfusion.

@maciejwrotek ... ( 3 weeks ago by KapitanoStuff)

@maciejwrotek Global Hypoperfusion would mean decreased bloodflow through every part of the body. Would certainly cause lethargy...shortly followed by death.
-
If you mean hypoperfusion to every part of the *brain*...then you'd get brain death, or at least vastly reduced function, possibly to vegetative levels. Not depression.

@KapitanoStuff No, ... ( 3 weeks ago by maciejwrotek)

@KapitanoStuff No, brain regulates functions by redistributing circulation. For example caffeine alone at 250mg produces 22-32% decrease in cerebral blood flow. and u r still alive. But caffeine increases glucose utilization.

@maciejwrotek Ok, I ... ( 3 weeks ago by KapitanoStuff)

@maciejwrotek Ok, I won't question the figures, but they still don't answer the original question. Given the complexity of brain bloodflow, the imprecision of fMRI and the variability between patients, even those with identical symptoms (which never happens) will have markedly different flow patterns, so how do you correlate flow with symptom? How do you decide which flow aspects are significant, which are abnormal, which are relavant, and what is a symptom in the first place?

@KapitanoStuff ... ( 3 weeks ago by maciejwrotek)

@KapitanoStuff There must be a baseline for brain hydration and u go from there. I don't know if imprecisions are relevant, but i know that PET scanner shows 30% decrease with caffeine so it is useful. It is too complex try to understand where decreased blood flow causes what symptom. U simply correct it, symptoms dissapear, and then u can study details.

While I agree that ... ( 2 weeks ago by StanpyX)

While I agree that there are far too many mental diagnostic labels thrown around (ADHD, etc) I do believe mental illness does exist. There ARE people who hear voices in their heads, hallucinate and see images, depressed for no reason to the point of suicide, etc. None of these are 'normal human behaviour'.
What determines a mental disorder and 'normal' if biology or chemistry can't? Well society does I guess. We don't 100% understand the human brain, so it's impossible to get physical evidence.

Its obvious that ... ( 2 weeks ago by Newworld444)

Its obvious that psychiatry is established by social/political means. I have nothing wrong with that and think its the right thing to do.
Its not a disease, its a disorder as in going against order. The point of psychiatry is to assist those who feel distress and those who are distressed. To promote social harmony and logical cognition. Yes, obviously its not a perfect institution and is effected by power hunger and corruption like any other. Yet overall I don't feel it is a bad institution.

@KapitanoStuff ... ( 2 weeks ago by Newworld444)

@KapitanoStuff Both. The social part is what causes what psychiatrists label as a disorder.

thanks for sharing this info! i am very suprised and stund at the implacation of what you are saying! we can only hope and wish that all psychologist are like you,if not sick people dont stand a chance! i like the truth! and you go staight to the point! lets wish that everyone leasons closely to what you say!

@Newworld444 A) ... ( 1 week ago by fraserrotchford)

@Newworld444 A) You've never been to a mental hospital before. B)Psychological abuse ie drugs, electroshock, asylums are JUSTIFIED not by behavior but by the biomedical approach. That is what makes it different than any other institution. Medical doctors do not say someone broke their leg because they were too excited, nor do they fix a broken leg based on social behavior.

i kinda knew this, in my mind i did lmao, i kinda had a hunch....i mean, i just knew....i'm on effexor, topamax and neurontin for pain because they want to cut down my pain medicine, which i'd rather just take my oxycodone, my old docotor is shut down for prescribing to much medicine, how messed up huh? Oxycodone is safer though, when taken right. I"ve researched it. I've had doctors tell me that but tell me basically in a certain way they were scared to give me too much.

oh i'm on adderall ... ( 6 days ago by AccessorizeAlways)

oh i'm on adderall too, but choice for my add/chronic fatigue, yeah it's all bad stuff, but the worst in my opinion is the effexor, when i don't have it for a day my body actually goes nuts with depression, headaches, shakes, you name it. It's awful. The others i can handle. I dunno i want off it and i'm thinking of cutting down. It's just awful

i have argued in ... ( 6 days ago by AccessorizeAlways)

i have argued in group before years ago in the bin about it...they said "it is not addictive " in group, and i argued and argued and left the group and really cussed them out (remember iw as in the hopsital and pissed off_) and i was sooooo mad, and i told the group yes it is, my body is hurting when i don't have it, and you are supposed to taper off, what do you call that?

Because I have ... ( 18 hours ago by scorpio112252)

Because I have worked in psychiatric wards and have found that there IS disorders, maybe not as many as in that manual. But this person, who qualifies himself ambiguously, does NOT know the mind...MOST doctors don't know the mind. We know everything physical, EXCEPT the mind! The only thing I agree with him is that the is NOT that many disorders...that's all!
