Psychiatric diagnoses are useless in determining how to treat those with mental illness

The convulsions, vomiting, and diarrhea from the left and the media (sorry for the redundancy) is a combination of the dual-diagnosis of Trump Derangement Syndrome and Hopium Withdrawal. Patient Zero is Rep. Maxine Waters. The psychosis spread through contact with Main Stream Media, and Democrat leadership. An unsuccessful series of placebo treatments included false and deceptive news reports, multiple Democrat-led hearings, and a defective 3-year inquisition. I realize the preceding is utterly useless, but it is an identifiable illness.

More people are being diagnosed with mental illnesses than ever before. Multiple factors can be attributed to this rise;

My theory is that in earlier times a fully functional social structure (family, marriage, community, church) kept people with these issues from going completely off the rails.

Whereas today they have pretty much withdrawn from all of those things and spend all of their time on social media talking to other mentally ill people, all reinforcing each other, which creates an endless feedback loop.

A 100 years ago or so when I took a Sociology course in criminality, a Psychiatric Diagnoses of a man said the public had nothing to fear. At that time, the man had a dead body in the trunk of his car. And it took this long to come to this conclusion?

I think the authors of the “study” may be missing the point.

People can reach a similar state of the their mental health, while having taken different paths getting there, including some with and some without traumatic events along the way. Their causes need not be the same, and yes, some diagnosis can have SOME similar symptoms with other diagnosis - just as is true in many biological medical issues.

That does not mean that a similar mental status they have obtained is wrong or “meaningless” just because the specific causes for it in each of their lives differs.

Also psychology and psychiatry do NOT presuppose that treatment for a particular mental state must or will follow exactly the same path for each individual or that that path will or ought to ignore the unique path the individual took in getting there. The authors seem to either ignore that or don’t understand it.

I am not really clear on what the motives of the authors of the “study are”, but I do think their conclusions miss the mark.

“No two people are exactly alike. Therefore, attempting to classify each unique individual’s mental health issues into neat categories just doesn’t work”

Exactly what I have been saying for years, and I didn’t need any “study” to know that.

Anyone with a brain should know by now that psychiatry is a scam.
