There was an interesting
article yesterday in "The Guardian," a major British news
organization, titled Medicine's
big new battleground: does mental illness really exist?
The gist of the article of
the article is that conventional psychiatry has failed to develop the skills
necessary to truly be a help to individuals.
Also there is more and
more evidence pointing to the ties between "big Pharma" and the paid
“experts” who publish what amount to be sales pieces for their potent
mind-bending drugs.
The ability to think
accurately is the root of mental health.
Beginning with being
taught how to keep our emotions in perspective, to the thinking skills that are
part of making world class choices, the health of our individual mental world
depends on our ability to use the information we gain as we go through life in
ways that yield accurate conclusions.
99.9% of what is
classified as mental illness is actually faulty thinking habits that yield
emotional, unworkable conclusions that usually cause more pain and suffering.
