The APA states that depression ‘causes’ feelings of sadness etc, as if depression is a ‘thing’ above & beyond our emotional states. To be clear, depression is not a 'thing', an identifiable biological datum- it’s an abstraction. Your experiences/emotions/behaviors alone are real.
Labelling emotional distress as 'dysfunctional' makes no real psychological sense. All distress is functional if you look deep enough. At the very least it's a protest against harmful circumstances and/or unmet needs. It demands care, understanding & change - not pathologisation.
How many more must die from drug overdose before we stop simply deploying naloxone, Suboxone, Methadone, and naltrexone thinking this is the best strategy? Are we all simply pharmaceutical tools?
Interesting perspective that’s very aligned with @DrGaborMate’s new book, The Myth of Normal. How do we evolve our view of “mental illness” from an (exponentially increasing) individual problem to a growing societal problem/evidence of a toxic environment?
The mental health professions may often play the role of enforcing social norms and conventions, as opposed—or in addition—to being methods for understanding and improving our mental lives, argue the authors.

@machinegunkelly your performance was so powerful that it was like I could FEEL what you were feeling in my own body—anger, suffocation, desperation, longing for love. This is your gift—just like you do with your music, you make people feel on a visceral level 💗
No, the achievement I’m most proud of in 2022 is NOT getting married or buying a house—it’s being in the top 0.5% of @machinegunkelly listeners 2 years in a row 👸🏼🤘🏼���
