It is very important to check and include in this discussion, Gabor Maté’s arguments in his recent book “The Myth of Normal.Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture”.
indeed...I love the Good Doctor...
I feel like he's addressing the stigmatization of mental illness and not the fact of those who suffer
Clips. 👍
Psychology is a relatively new "science" -- I believe the future of this area of study is *biological psychology*. Specifically, inroads are being made in understanding the huge role our endocrine system plays in an individual's way of interacting with the environment. For thousands of years, people have studied the "personalities" of other people. Many personality "theories" have been systematized and codified. The DSM is a codification of the observation of personality and problems with personality. Science is just now seeing the correlation between our hormones and our personalities. More than 50 hormones produced by 8 glands in the human body have been identified. Some are called nuero-transmitters. These specialized hormones are produced in ALL humans, but in varied amounts and combinations. As research is done in this field, I believe we will come to understand the WHY of what has been observed
saving normal by Allen Frances is a useful read - along with the books by psychiatrist Sami Timimi or see the work over at The council for evidenced based psychiatry. There are plenty of others - we're now in a world were corporate priorities have turned everyone into a mental patient due to a systematic lowering of the threshold for what is needed for a 'diagnosis' then again diagnosis in the absence of an identifiable proximal cause via objective testing isn't really a diagnosis so its all bullshit - highly profitable bullshit of course.
you should look into caffeine. It's messing up a lot of people's mental health
I think that mild autism coupled with a high IQ can be advantageous for technical people.
There's no such thing as schizophrenia personality disorder.
He's speaking rubbish.
Or psychopathic ... Bloom is highly regarded, but not as a clinician.
Bloom is clearly no clinician.
Two non psychiatrists with little to no extensive experience in working directly with mental health and illness....l don't think so 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
