Have they gone to far?

[Corn Pop]

and crossed the line on mental illness?.

Looking at stats, where i live, they say 1 in 4 has a diagnosed mental illness.

It seems science and technology is what makes these claims.

Like 100 years ago it was 10000:1 and today its 4:1

Do you think the stats will rise until near every human is labelled mentally ill, apart from the ones who makes the diagnosis?.

What do you think is the reason is for such a high number of people with mental illness?

Has it allways been these same stats but now we have recognised through technology, or is there something causing it?

4,000000 people and 1,000000 are "so called" , mentally ill.

Maybe i should have put this in talk and advice.

I think it's all about money, and Lord only knows what the medications are doing to us.

That, or mental illness is on the rise, and it's the result of our modern culture. I'm not really sure. But even if so, I doubt there are as many "mentally ill" people out there as is claimed.

This has something to do with it..

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Lol, what a coincedence. A programme just started right now about people who suffer mental illness.

So far a farmer is mentally ill because of the rural lifestyle, drought, and slow internet connection. They seem to be focusing on the lack of technology and his feeling like a second class citizen causing a part of his "depression".

I agree life can be tough for a farmer but this is about mental illness and it seems lack of internet connection is one reason. What!. Lol.

What is crazy, is Cait Jenner.
What is crazier is that the mental health community legally creates these "things", by diagnosing.... "sex change necessary" .
Mr Jenner didnt need a castration and breast implants....He needed-needs to become a "new Creation", "in Christ".
Imagine now if he were to get saved and then realize what he has actually become.
That is a reality check that noone should have to deal with, simply because "mental health science" has lost its mind.

Agreed on all counts. Like my pastor says, when someone says "I was born this way!" Well, that's okay, I'll let you by with that one... but the Bible says you must be born again.

I was diagnosed with add/h, and on a very high dose of meds in the 80s, when i was 18 i was diagnosed with depression and given meds, when i was 30 i was diagnosed with severe phobic anxietys and given meds, today i am diagnosed with nothing through Jesus Christ. I feel fine. All my "mental illness" is gone.

Im now labelled by the doctor as "normal".

I was medicated for anxiety and depression as a kid, Bipolar with psychotic features a young adult, and all of that is gone now. I love your testimony and I share your testimony.

I think we simply have a higher awareness of mental illness and it's different types. Not everyone who is mentally ill will stick out like a sore thumb.
I think the concept of mental illness makes sense. There are illnesses and disorders of the body, illnesses and disorders of the mind is hardly a stretch. Especially since the mind is pretty connected to biological functions anyway.

A study during WWII showed that the army's white horses ate more than their grey horses...
Then someone with some common sense did a count and realized the truth, the white horses eat more than the grey horses, because there are more of the white horses.

Same thing with mental illness. From what I have read, the world population is between 6 and 7 billion, so its not like there's a big surge in mental Illness, just higher population, which the powers that be take advantage of for control purposes, (and the pharmaceutical company's.)

Reading KiwiDan's testimony could easily be construed to teach us that a journey into madness has high potential without God.

He never removed his penis. Remember they have create a vagina.

 

[Christ_empowered]

I dunno. When I was a teenager, I went to a shrink thinking...I could be made normal. Maybe even cool. Now, I'm 31 and I receive disability for "Bipolar I w/psychotic features." I'm actually sick-er after (electroshock, drugs, torture) than I was before seeing the shrinks.

I may well be an extreme example (I'm hoping so, anyway), but I hardly think I"m the only one.

Christ has made a huge difference in my life, of course. I actually recovered, both from a nervous breakdown shrinks contributed to and from being electroshocked into oblivion.

Needless to say, I'm skeptical about psychiatry.

Yes., this is why i said they castrated him.
Castration removes the testicles, only.

There is real mental illness like psycotic stuff as you say, scizophenia , people hearing voices and all that, brain damage and stuff, need stabilisers in life, but these days people are diagnosed "mentally ill, take a pill" for just having a bad day type of thing, going through a rough stage or some type of rut in life. Just standard human emotions and life stages.

 

[WIP]

Anyone that does not fit into society's definition of "normal" seems to be labeled as mentally ill.

Shoot it's been said that everyone has some mental health issue and let's be real ,everyone of us has some health issues

 

[th1b.taylor]

So very true WIP. Because I have PTSD I, the owner of a gun, almost forever, have my name on the Do Not Sell List. I do believe we are witnessing the fulfillment of the world being turned over to a Reprobate Mind and just saying that I can see it upsets many inside and outside the Church "Membership."

LOL! Who, me? LOL!

 

[Milk-Drops]

I couldn't find anything (but if you guys know of any, I'd be willing to read it) that says 1 in 4 people suffer from a mental illness, but I did find something that said 1 in 4 are likely to have a mental health issue at some point in their life. When I was in school I took a lot of psychology classes when I first started out to see if it was what I really wanted to do. What I learned is that Mental illness isn't the same as a disorder. A person can have a mental illness similar to having a physical illness, as in they can have it and through treatment or changing habbits can avoid it.

Disorders on the other hand are more a chronic condition or a manifestation of one or more mental illnesses that become taxing. Nueroscience is studying what causes these disorders and some of their findings show that a lot of disorders are tied to hormone imbalances and or genetic factors.

Mental health issues can be as simple as extreme stress, mental breakdowns, seizures, delusions, mood swings, narcisism, anti social behavior, suicidal thinking/ detachment, disphoria, depression/apathy, attachment issues, abandonment issues, trust issues, etc. Most of these are easily treatable, but can be signs of a disorder.

Since mental health treatment is still very young compared to medical science, there is still a lot of unknowns. That means there is a lot of trial an error. So disorders can change definition or change diagnosis and treatment the more that is learned.

Its a very interesting field to read about if you are curious.

 

[evenifigoalone]

Yeah, mental health doesn't have to mean "crazy, institution worthy". There are mild bodily injuries or illnesses that don't necessarily warrant hospital or medicinal treatment, I assume this would be the case with mental health as well.

If you read about the early days of medicinal practice, they did some pretty scary and harmful stuff then too. They were still learning, it took a while to get what we have now.
