"Anorexia Nervosa" DOES NOT AND CANNOT EXIST.

"Anorexia Nervosa" DOES NOT AND CANNOT EXIST.


IF all that is being observed is SELF-STARVATION then that is all that is occuring. There is NO illness.


Was Bobby Sands "DIAGNONSENSED" with "Anorexia Politica"?

This logic applies to all so-called "mental illnesses".

Szasz's insights apply to ALL so-called "mental illnesses". Even if you feel empowered by saying that you "have" "ADHD" - IF it simply does not exist in any way whatsoever then this reality cannot be changed.

About Me

My photo
I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
