It’s simple. Rigorous honesty and extreme ownership. Which is just step one and people get stuck there on awareness. They will accept that status quo, believing they can’t change or not wanting to change. Or …

Step two, taking the action steps to change who you are and how you think and behave.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

"It wasn't me. It was my mania," a client told me once, explaining an affair. Desire became "hypersexuality." The lies and hotel rooms became "impulsivity." The fallout became "emotional lability" — Bipolar II, diagnosed in fifteen minutes, no prior history of mania, right after she blew up a twelve-year marriage.

I asked her: "What if you weren't out of control? What if you were making choices — terrible, destructive choices — but choices nonetheless?"

The silence in that room said everything.

This is what modern psychiatry has mastered: transforming conscious choices into involuntary symptoms, moral failings into neurochemical misfirings, and the natural consequences of our actions into evidence of disease.

The DSM had 106 labels in 1952. Today it has nearly 300. Did humans suddenly develop 200 new ways to be mentally ill? Or did the psychiatric industrial complex develop 200 new ways to pathologize normal human experience and profit from convincing you your personality is a disease?

Take the client who sat in my office after years of therapy, drugs, and a stack of diagnoses that read like a medical textbook's greatest hits tour. He said something I almost never hear anymore:
"I'm a jerk. I'm selfish. I want things my way all the time. When people don't give me what I want, I lash out and hurt them. I get irritable. A lot of people don't like me. I don't like me. Help me break this cycle, doc."

No bipolar disorder to hide behind. No ADHD excuse. No treatment-resistant depression to blame. Just raw, uncomfortable self-awareness.

You have Borderline Personality Disorder, so your emotional volatility isn't your fault. You have ADHD, so you can't keep commitments. You have Bipolar Disorder, so that explains the maxed-out credit cards.
Every time we use a label to explain away behavior instead of confront it, we destroy someone's belief in their own capacity to change. We've replaced transformation with resignation, and we charge $200 a session for the privilege.

Why did you have the affair? "Because I have Bipolar Disorder." How do we know? "Because I had the affair." That's not science. That's circular logic with a prescription pad attached.

And it's not just adults rewriting their choices as chemistry. I've sat with parents explaining their son's job losses and drug use as "self-medicating undiagnosed depression" — diagnosed in fifteen minutes, after his third firing. What never made it into the chart: a childhood of nannies, after-school programs, and vacations interrupted by work calls. Every material need met. Emotional presence treated as optional.

He didn't need another diagnosis. He needed the truth.

Same goes for the phone in your pocket. "My ADHD is so bad, I can't focus on anything." How many hours a day are you on your phone? They check: 8 hours and 37 minutes. Yesterday alone.

Your brain is getting bombarded with algorithmic dopamine hits for eight and a half hours a day. You check your phone roughly 140 times daily. And the theory is that your inability to focus is a neurodevelopmental disorder?

Your brain isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed — responding predictably to the environment you built for it.

That's not a diagnosis. That's a doorway.
AWAKEN.

Absolute horror what our USAF family is going through right now and will have to live with. The best of our best! Please pray!

[Michael Kelly @Mkellytx2]

It's with a heavy heart I write to you this morning. One of the pilots, my friend and former colleague, Lt Col (R) Miles "Vicky" Middleton was one of the two Boeing employees on the MA yesterday.

Lt Col Middleton was a graduate of USAF TPS class 05B and former commander of the 419th FLTS. He is survived by his wife Pam and two children.

I worked side by side with Vicky for two years. He was the best of the best. He always had a quick wit and deep technical knowledge of the BUFF and flight test procedure.

It deeply greaves me that his family lost their husband and father. The family has set up a Go Fund Me that I will link in the comments.

Please keep Pam and the children in your prayers.

Former atheist says Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream as he hung off the edge of a cliff, crying for help.

He didn’t understand the dream when he woke up. He figured it out later.

But once he did, he could no longer remain an atheist.

DR. SY GARTE: “I was hanging from the edge of a cliff, terrified. I didn’t know what to do, and I couldn’t climb up.”

“I was holding on with my hands, and I screamed out, ‘Help. Help.’ I didn’t know who I was calling to. I just said, ‘Help, help.’ And I heard a voice say, ‘Just let go.’ And I said, ‘What? What? I fall down?’”

“And the voice said, ‘Just let go.’ So I finally said, ‘Well, okay.’ So I let go. And the moment I let go, the entire landscape turned 90 degrees. And instead of hanging from a cliff, I was lying on the ground.”

“And there was a man whose voice I had heard standing there. That was the man who said, ‘Just let go.’ I woke up, and I was like, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘just let go.’ I didn’t know who it was.”

“Eventually, I found out that the man was Jesus Christ. And what I had to let go of was all the baggage that was in my life that was absolutely blocking me from even considering the idea of a God.”

Extra virgin olive oil works like ibuprofen.

Dr. Federica Amati explained that it inhibits the same COX-2 pathway that drives inflammation and pain. The sharper and more peppery the oil (that scratchy throat feeling), the higher the beneficial polyphenols.

A landmark 2005 study in Nature found that oleocanthal in fresh extra virgin olive oil has an ibuprofen-like anti-inflammatory effect. About 50ml of high-quality EVOO delivers roughly 10% of a standard 200mg ibuprofen dose.

One of the simplest, tastiest, and most accessible daily habits for fighting chronic inflammation.

Do you use extra virgin olive oil every day? Have you noticed any difference?

Absolutamente increíble. Lo que hoy ha hecho Barcelona se recordará mucho tiempo. La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí y los que durante 140 años han creído en ello, lo merecían.

@DrMcFillin Not just a joke. Flat out destructive! To individuals. To families. To our entire culture!

And this is what is also driving the lack of mental health in this country.

Embrace that which you fear and demonize. Adversity is there to help you grow. Run away or grow are your only two choices.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

“The best men have been broken.”

Chris Williamson shared this line from Alain de Botton on his Modern Wisdom podcast. He says you can see it in the eyes, a quiet humility, a recognition of limits, even in high achievers.

After two brutal years dealing with serious health issues, Chris realized that getting kicked in the teeth forces you to examine your patterns, motivations, and goals under a microscope. It’s uncomfortable in the moment, but it becomes a gift.

He believes almost all of our greatest accomplishments are born from our lowest points. Adversity is a terrible thing to waste.

This hit me hard. The guys who seem most grounded and impressive often carry some invisible scars. The smooth, effortless path rarely produces the same depth.

In a culture obsessed with constant wins and highlight reels, remembering that struggle forges real character is a powerful reminder. The lowest points often plant the seeds for what we become.

What’s one hard season in your life that ended up shaping you for the better?

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

@elonmusk THAT’s true love!

@Dubai_Hustap It is being pumped in the a/c air vents. You can’t go to dr office, hospital, apartment building, grocery store, mall, or any other commercial building (including schools and government) without breathing it in!

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

Lithium is the psychiatric equivalent of a spiritual sledgehammer.

That is what a psychiatrist reached for when a 32-year-old woman told her she had been praying two hours a day and felt called to devote her life to God.
The diagnosis: hyperreligiosity, a symptom of hypomania.

This woman had been in the psychiatric system since she was 17. Put on an SSRI for anxiety — not a disorder, the natural restlessness of a soul trying to find its path. For eleven years she saw the same psychiatrist. Monthly visits. Adjusting doses. Managing a condition that never existed.

The moment she heard God's call clearly, the prescription pad came out.

"Properly mentally stable" is the psychiatric code for spiritually lobotomized.

This is not an edge case. This is not a bad doctor. This is the system working exactly as designed.

The DSM-5 has a diagnosis for every dimension of spiritual awakening:
- Feel one with the universe? Delusion of reference.
- Receive divine guidance? Auditory hallucinations.
- Know things beyond rational explanation? Magical thinking.
- Feel God's presence intensely? Hyperreligiosity.
- Understand you have a divine purpose? Grandiose delusions.

In 2012, three Harvard psychiatrists retroactively diagnosed Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and St. Paul with schizophrenia. Abraham's encounters with God were "auditory hallucinations." Moses' burning bush was a "visual hallucination." Paul's road to Damascus experience — temporal lobe epilepsy with psychotic features.

If Abraham were alive today he would be on Haldol.

83% of Americans believe people have a soul. 45% have felt a sudden connection with something beyond this world. 38% have felt a deceased loved one communicating with them.

The psychiatric industrial complex has built a diagnostic framework that classifies the spiritual experiences of most Americans as severe mental illness.

This is not healthcare. This is a spiritual war being waged with prescription pads.

This is exactly what Dr. Daniel Ingram and I discussed yesterday on the Radically Genuine Podcast.

The science exists. The system ignores it.

In a world gone mad, spiritual awakening is not mental illness.

It's the cure.

@DrJosefWD Another reason adult children are coming up with stories for “alienating” from their parents; so they don’t have to care for them!’n

@bennyjohnson But wasn’t that treason?

[kelly @kellytheboss7]

ADHD is being the most productive person in a crisis and the least productive person when nothing is on fire.
When a real emergency happens, the urgency creates instant focus. Deadlines are clear, priorities are obvious, and the brain finally gets the stimulation it needs to engage. You can organize people, solve problems, make quick decisions, and work for hours without losing momentum.
But when life is calm and there’s no immediate pressure, simple tasks can feel strangely impossible. Making a doctor's appointment, answering an email, paying a bill, or starting a project you've had weeks to do can require more mental effort than handling an actual crisis.
For example, someone with ADHD might flawlessly coordinate a last-minute work presentation after a colleague calls in sick, juggling schedules, fixing technical issues, and presenting confidently. Then they spend three weeks trying to gather the energy to book a routine dentist appointment that would take five minutes.
The challenge isn't capability- it's that the ADHD brain is often driven more by urgency than importance.

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

@CMerandi How do you find that? Are there two sets of records? One for the patient to see and then the “hidden” ones, or coded flags, for medical community?

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

The right sequence. Discipline to stay within the mental boundaries. Structure and conditioned your brain to same rituals routines so it becomes automatic.

Pick the top 3 most important things to do everyday. Attack first. No avoidance and running away with distractions.

Apply non-negotiable deadlines. Use accountability partner if you don’t have a mental skills coach.

[𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 @Be_like_legend]

I just reviewed the morning routine of a 36-year-old working mom with ADHD.

The way she described her 6:30 AM wake-up explained executive dysfunction better than any medical textbook.

She said:

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

Doesn’t matter the past or what happened. Or whose fault. Or what physical problems or what handicaps or whatever. Adjust. Let go. And move on. Only you are continuing to keep yourself there. We can stay there and blame and complain or take ownership of a new future. Abusive parents. Whatever. Move ion or stay stuck in the story.

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

Yup. Work and then success. It’s all good. Reframe it into your victory story! It is either choose to be a victim or choose to be a victor. Shitty parents ruined my life only when I framed it that way.

Does not ruin your mental health for a lifetime. That is a story and a choice.

When I decided to make it work FOR me, and to be the good news, and to choose to not be a victim, it was no longer an issue. I turned it into my rocket fuel instead! .

Blame and stay stuck and miserable or take control of your own happiness.

[Nancy Dye @NancyDyeMindset]

@DrSuneelDhand Truth! The entire mental health industry, which originates in the colleges teaching it, needs to be taken down! It’s a destructive parasite on our civilization that just keeps growing and spreading!
