>"mental illnesses" are bogus

Is this thread a feminist false flag?

>>186899

> more and more physicians are coming out and saying "mental illnesses" are bogus

source for this?

I have no doubt that many mental illnesses are over-diagnosed or fake (at least with self diagnosed spergs) but I haven't heard any doctors themselves say it yet.

Depression and bipolar disorder are neurological. That means that they show up on brainscans.

The third pic looks like it might be either depression or, based on the blog name, an eating disorder. Anorexia is delusional, and I don't think anyone would argue that the majority of delusional people are fakers. I don't know about bulimia but the behavior involved is so crazy and irrational that there's probably a delusion there as well.

In conclusion, OP is a faggot liar trying to make us look bad.

>mental illnesses are bogus

>doctors are saying this

Today, you were the lolcow OP.

Of course mental illnesses are real, OP. You are living proof. You suffer from severe retardation.

There are a lot of self diagnosed idiots which I'm going to assume is what the OP was talking about rather than the alternative.

I'm not sure you could really target some group in particular for this, since it's a fairly common thing for people to diagnose themselves with all variety of disorders.

Mental illnesses are real. Look at every lolcow ever and everyone who follows them.

Nice troll, OP. You got me.

OP specifically said that mental illnesses don't exist. Which is about as scientifically accurate as saying leeches can cure the common cold or voodoo can raise undead zombies.

OP is probably a doctor-diagnosed autistic sperg who self-diagnosed himself as neurotypical because he couldn't emotionally deal with having to live with a condition. Probably one of Autphag's crew.

Either that or he's a troll.

>more physicians are coming out and saying "mental illnesses" are bogus

Nigger you what?

I think you mean "self-diagnosed"

>>186913

Seems like it, either that or OP is a deranged lunatic who should take his meds

>Greater lulz is added to all of this when you consider that more and more physicians are coming out and saying "mental illnesses" are bogus

Fuck, I guess all the articles I read every day form the new England journal of medicine, the lancet, the BMJ, the AJP and others are all written by backwards hicks. I'm glad the OP is here to tell me that bullshit like "randomized trials", "case-control studies", "literature reviews" and other lying tools of the white man are all tricks being debunked by "more and more physicians".

OP, fucking think before you post, self diagnosed retards are always a good laugh, and trust me, no one laughs at them more than the people who work with real psychiatric patients, but making a /cow/ thread with a retarded opening post like that and with no good laughing material to speak of is embarrassing.

Yo man can we check OP's post history? I wanna see if this nigger has even posted on here before.

So, I'm assuming one of your doctors diagnosed you with a mental illness, and you being the Autistic faggot you are (aspergers, right?) you're too much of a whiny bitch to accept that you're a mental degenerate, so you come onto your one social hangout (imageboards) to project about your shitty life.

Just face it, you have a mental disorder. It's nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, if you keep doing whatever your doctor recommended it won't at all be a problem.

As you would say, man the fuck up and face reality.

That's the thing about mental illness. If you take it seriously and treat it like an actual medical condition - in the same way you'd treat a broken leg or a burn wound - generally they won't interfere with your life whatsoever and you'll live a completely normal life.

But if you do what OP is suggesting, trying to deny it, ignore it, run away from it and assume you're smarter than every single doctor - yes, that's right OP, absolutely zero doctors are saying what you are - you're going to be an absolute wreck.

You know those homeless people on the street who shake uncontrollably and scream about aliens stealing their brains and making them gay? That's what happens when you try to "tough it out."

I could believe that not everyone diagnosed with a mental illness actually has a mental illness, but mental illnesses themselves are very real.

Just check just about any video in the gangstalking thread to get a glimpse at the aberrant thought processes of legitimately mentally ill people.

I dunno if you are going to get a diagnose of a certain mental illness. You take allot of tests from a psychiatrist and doctors plus you might be in a psyche ward for awhile. If its schizophrenia or another psychotic illness, you usually get home with anti psychotics and anti depressants.

Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick on the edge of the Grand Canyon juggling chainsaws, this.

The brain is an organ like any other. You got something wrong with your tooth, you go to a tooth doctor. You got something wrong with your butt, you go to a butt doctor. You got something wrong with your brain, you go to a brain doctor.

I got autism. It sucks. I've gone to doctors to get it diagnosed, and to programs to help treat it. It's a thing my brain has, not much I can do about it, there's no known medication that helps it. Alcohol takes the edge off, at least.

It's not a very well defined area of medicine compared to pretty much everything else, but progress is gradually being made.

This could get kinda funny if self-diagnosing with mental illnesses is in itself a mental illness.

It is.
