The idea that forced psychiatric detention prevents suicide is rediculous. If it's ever happened to you, you'd know that it increases your problems exponentially. It is like pushing someone off a cliff because you are concerned they are going to jump.

This man knows! My god the damage that has been done to so many people through all these "treatments"

This man is a real genius. He understands the questions and answers appropriately and properly.

OMG I wish I'd known Thomas Szasz.

I used to wake up everyday feeling a bodily sensation that was indescribable which would cause me to just not get up. I would sleep until my mind/body wouldnât let me sleep any longer forcing me out of bed. I would feel like life wasnât worth living and would get angry and stressed out suicidal all day. I fixed it unintentionally after trying a fruit/vegetable smoothie that I enjoyed so I continued drinking one everyday until I noticed I wasnt waking up in despair and suffering. I finally understood that the shit food being peddled these days definitely is a huge culprit for âmental illnessâ which is actually illness by poisoning from all the chemicals in processed foods/sodas etc.

Exactly. Psychiatry, as Dr. Szasz aptly pointed out, is a moral-legalistic enterprise. Its main function is that of relieving others of the suffering that the so-called mentally ill bring to bear. To conceive of human suffering as disease, in many respects, is of social and political necessity. If you have read enough of Thomas Szasz, you will understand the context of this latter statement.

I have seen Dr. Szasz as a brilliant healer since learning of him during my Graduate Studies in Counseling Psychology in the late 80's. What a great loss to humanity...he passed on at age 92 two months after this presentation!!!

Psychiatrist are scammers. I'm happy I left those corrupt individuals behind.

I view doctors as incredibly dangerous agents of the state. Anyone who isnât completely terrified of them is a fool. When you walk into a doctorâs office and say something you might as well be walking into a police station to make a formal statement.

I agree. Thanks for helping me understand. I worked in mental health for 20 years & I am still unlearning a lot of programming.

I've been diagnosed with GAS and other anxiety-related disorder, was put on effexor for 1,5year, only supressed my emotions and anxiety further without going to the source. Turned out I developed severe Adrenal fatigue due to a very stressfull job and extremely hard training regiment. All the doctors and psychologists adviced to do sports to 'clear' the mind while making my adrenal fatigue and anxiety way way worse. If you experience 'psychological' problems contact a endocrinologist instead of a doctor or psychologist, there is a 95% chance your hormone and thyroid function are out of wack. Depression and anxiety is a healthy reaction towards an unhealthy lifestyle work/relationship situation or behavior like excessive working, eating, drinking, drug use, mental abuse and so on...

In order to properly understand the present moment we must understand history.

I used Alternative Medicine to deal with the horrible physiological symptoms of my imbalance. My "behavior" became more functional.
Drugs make many people worse.

Society causes much suffering not "mental disorders". Society decides what is socially unacceptable. Pills are demanded for anxiety and socially awkward problems Wich society causes.

RIP Thomas Szasz

1 of the most important videos i have ever seen on You Tube to do with Mental Health and look at the views... No wonder so many Mental Health Systems are a mess throughout the world today.

Oppression leads to depression, leads to suicide! THe pain of depression is a wound of the soul and has nothing to do with the mind.

Violently restraining people, holding them down, and injecting them with a neuroleptic, rendering them unconscious, can easily cause a lifetime of PTSD. If you want to argue that it's sometimes necessary, we can't even begin that discussion until you concede that it is by far most often done unnecessarily.
