Comments on: Dr. Thomas Szasz On The Myth Of Mental Illness http://www.theemotionmachine.com/dr-thomas-szasz-on-the-myth-of-mental-illness Psychology and Self Improvement Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:47:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: wayne3103 http://www.theemotionmachine.com/dr-thomas-szasz-on-the-myth-of-mental-illness/comment-page-1#comment-79027 wayne3103 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:52:49 +0000 http://www.theemotionmachine.com/?p=2948#comment-79027 I have found many things in common with a drug addict being a chronic Mental Health Patient. If Szasz is right about Psychiatry being a science of lies and if Mental Illness is a myth; it is my opinion we have a great deal in common except on one point. We tell a drug addict they need to come off the drugs, and we tell a Mental Health Patient to stay on there's. Dr Peter Breggin is right when he says "You drug may be your Problem!" Educate yourself and if you find that treatment does more harm than good for you, get help from someone who will help you come off these Psychotropic drugs gently. Coming off any drug you are dependent on cold turkey can be very dangerous.

I like how Thomas Szasz positions his theories relating to human feelings and emotions. I would love know him more. Great post!

Keep in mind these are Szasz's views and not necessarily mine. I like to cover a wide range of viewpoints on this blog. Although - some food for thought - how do you know your experiences without ADHD medication isn't withdrawals? Maybe you have built a dependency on the drug? When you take a heroin addict off of heroin they too will experience an inability to control themselves, because they are so dependent on the drug. Does that mean they needed heroin all their lives to function? I'm not saying you're a heroin addict, but these are some possibilities to consider. I'm sorry if this upsets you.
