A.D.H.D. Absolutely Does Not Exist!
"Mental Illness" is one of humanity's most harmful lies. "Psychiatry" (a Victorian Ancient Greek word meaning "Mind Healing") is the pseudo-science and crime that propagates this lie. All people of conscience should continue to work for the total abolition of "Psychiatry" as an official medical discipline; and to end its inherent lies and very serious world-wide human rights abuses. There have been millions of victims of this crime. We must hope that one day there will be no more victims.

Penalty for wife leaving you? Electrocution for a week.
Penalty for wife leaving you? Electrocution for a week. WTF???
Every morning for one very, very difficult week of my life back in 2013 I had to listen
to a real gentleman tell me over a cup of tea that he had just spent the last half an hour
being electrocuted.
I simply cannot believe that people can be so cruel to each other. And so stupid.
All that had happened to him - according to what he said - was that he had reacted badly to his wife's leaving him.
A period of recovery is one thing.
A period of some fucking evil bastard of a psychiatrist trying and succeeding very quickly to murder you for no good reason is quite another!
This man was a West Ham fan who remembered the terraces of Upton Park from the 1970s.
He was in his 50s from Hornchurch - a town that helped save the world in World War 2.
He may be dead now for all I know!
BAN E.C.T. - Let's Begin Medicine on Planet Earth!
BAN E.C.T. NOW!!!

Stress is not any kind of illness!
Stress is not an illness.
It is an inevitable part of life! To a certain extent - it is a healthy thing!
Without a certain amount of stress - fisical and psychological - the body cannot function!
However, stress is a real killer nowadays! Things that aren't illnesses can kill you!
Just ask a British soldier!
Anyway, I will say that I cannot imagine anything more stressful than some of what the "UK Mental Health System" has put me throo over the last 22 years of pure oppression and suffering.
It must rival in stressfulness that those serving Queen and Country in the Armed Forces must go through! For me and many, many others!
How can we show respect for a "Queen and Country" that locks people away in horrific conditions for no reason at all?
In their thousands!
And effectively murders people here in the UK itself!
In their thousands!
NO MORE!

P. N. C. L. D. and Ruby Wax
If you think this blog is some kind of joke and are laughing at it after reading it then you could have -
P N C L D -
Post Non-Comedy Laughter Disorder.
It's quite common but not serious.
It is sometimes known to occur after attendance at Ruby "Must Have" Wax "In Her Fecking Ears" gigs.
The best cure is Bill Hicks and/or Richard Pryor.
[Ruby's new tour is rumoured to be called
"1 in 4 with Mental Illness?
Did you believe that nonsense?
I was only joking, you idiots!"
------------------------------------------------
"There are no "Mentally Ill People" -
there are only "Psychiatric Survivors"!
[Incidentally - "Mentally Ill" CAN BE a compulsory label -
"Psychiatric Survivor" is always a VOLUNTARY one].
Afterthought 08.10.17:
I must say that I very much like Ruby Wax and that she is indeed funny and a good comedienne and a great person. Even though I obviously disagree with her about the question of "mental health" etc.
I watched her "Who Do You Think You Are?" episode on BBC1 and I found it very moving.
Unfortunately, she didn't make the point that in the Holocaust many people who were labelled "mentally ill" were murdered by the Nazis. Earlier on in her family tree, she accepted unquestioningly that some of her relatives had "mental illness" and also accepted their treatment - which included long-term incarceration - as necessary and humane.
To some extent she had brought up the question of whether her parents had "caused" her "Mental Health Problems". When we found out what her parents had been through, we were very much willing to forgive them if this was the case. Forgiveness of those who perpetrated the Holocaust is a different matter. As is forgiveness of those who continue to enslave and abuse those labelled "mentally ill." I believe that forgiveness is possible in both cases.
I don't entirely discount the possibility that she may one day discover that she is effectively swallowing the propaganda of psychiatry in propagating the views that she does.
But as a spokesperson for and representative of people in a situation similar to my situation and that of millions of others, I think there could be worse people. She is empathetic and seems relatively open-minded.
She was on "Sunday Morning Live" this morning on BBC1 talking about "Mental Health" and I was disconcerted and a little amused to hear her affirm that doctors can and should learn to "spot" those who really have "Mental Health Problems", as opposed to those who simply have "the blues" for example.
Hopefully she will one day see the obvious - that the distinction between those with "mental health problems" and those without, is meaningless, arbitrary and non-existent.

Read Bullshit Disorder
Regarding Will Self's belief that he is "addicted" to energy drinks.
Maybe he's got RBSD - Read Bull Shit Disorder?
Maybe he's got RBSD - Read Bull Shit Disorder?
The "First World Disease" and the "Second World Disease".
If violence - for example - is a DISEASE or even the SYMPTOM of one - then why do we not speak of World Disease One and World Disease Two?
No behaviour, no thought, no feeling is a disease; nor are they or can they be the SYMPTOMS of one.
A disease can only be PHYSICAL.

About Me
- Citizen Sofa
- 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.
