In November 1989, in the Socialist Republic of Romania, I took an oath to the red flag of the oppressed from all over the world. I am still true to that oath.

@Rozewicz @joannamoncrieff Few things in the world are more frightening than a psychiatrist confident in the righteousness of his profession and the speed with which he exhausts his receipt-book of prescriptions.

@JDaviesPhD From classics like lunatic asylums, orphanages and Nazi care centers to the modern happy pill dispensing, scientifically managed care of the needy rapidly degenerates into dystopia. Science is reductionist and culturally biased, and the meaning of "care" is outside its algorithm.

@JDaviesPhD The staging of what the regime terms the mental health crisis through the medicalizing of ever more normal aspects of human nature now labeled as deviant by its Thought Police lackeys, is part of the greater shift towards a Society of Control warned against by Deleuze since 1990.

@JDaviesPhD Socially constructed and politically voted by tribunals of 'normality', with the express goal of persecuting emotionally distressed people, the DSM labels mostly serve as pretexts for the administration of harmful substances as punishments against people who break social norms.

@psychgeist52 I'm old enough to remember a time when it was perfectly socially acceptable to be sad, worried, or shy without anyone questioning your sanity. All these initialisms they use to label us are handcuffs invented by those institutions charged with our surveillance and control.

@markhoro Psychiatry deceitfully labels metaphors that describe normal and often transient emotional issues as incurable medical illnesses requiring a lifelong regimen of harmful and addictive pills, with the aim of creating lifelong customers. The real epidemic is the one of psychiatry.

@BadreNicolas @joannamoncrieff Originally called eugenics and meant to justify the moral panic about the perceived genetic inferiority of the newly arrived migrants, psychiatry has kept its old habit of relying on social constructs to label vulnerable people. While the jargon has evolved, its purpose hasn't.

@JDaviesPhD For the first time in history, almost everything we do, think, or feel either violates some law or can be interpreted as a symptom of a mental illness. Thus, we all became either imprisonable or institutionalizable ex officio. But only if we dare to criticize/oppose authority.

@JDaviesPhD It's disheartening how otherwise competent scientists in their fields of activity, either out of ignorance but mostly to avoid the ostracizing "science denier" label, dodge their ethical duty of exposing the medicalization of the human condition, thus tacitly legitimizing it.

@JDaviesPhD Neoliberalism will always unscrupulously deny any responsibility in exacerbating the social determinants of growing mental anguish, choosing instead ideological explanations such as the mythological chemical imbalances fixable only by the proliferation of psychopharmacology.
