On Diagnosing and Treating Mental Illness

Freud said most neuroses were a matter of conscience. That you've violated it in some way, and therefore your mind becomes filled with them. And there's no getting back from that, once you did. You just have to know God  saves you, and through His guidance, work to better yourself.

Things like ADHD and Autism need not be diagnosed. They're just human beings. We have to let people be what they are, and not try to label everything, otherwise the person feels crippled their entire life, and never actually accomplishes anything.

Well, I'd just say a lot of diseases aren't physical, but rather subconscious. Most of it comes from deep rooted distrust in oneself, or one's actions. The best way to address mental illness, is confession, forgiveness, and then restoration. As that's how I've dealt with mine. And it seemed to work. 

Most of your diseases are caused by guilt. They're rooted in that. So, the best thing is to deal with the guilt--assuming you don't have a bad therapist who just lays it on you and gaslights you--is restore the bushels you can restore, and live at peace because you can never make full restitution. That's Who Christ is.

Just remember, the LORD is very real, and most psychological issues are generational curses or something that one incepts in themselves. I've seen a lot of things in my life, saying people are "Biologically" disposed toward these illnesses, while true to a certain extent, don't discount the LORD's autonomy in the healing process, or His Law as a means of restoring one's conscience, which the illness is kind of like a sear in conscience. We have to be responsible for ourselves, and take accountability for our own actions.

You wonder how people made it before all this stuff? They seemed to have a handle on it, until the very field of Psychology made everything so backward, that now nobody can function.

I don't take any antidepressants. Just 5 milligrams of Risperidone, because that's one of the medicines that actually do work. Antipsychotics are a necessity. One of my fears is losing my insurance, and then not being able to get them. Which Trump's trying to make it harder to be on Medicaid, which is something I absolutely need. And [...] Not taking advantage of anyone, it's just something I need. That's a whole other issue... I get stressed when I'm around lots of people, and don't deal with workplace politics well. And I start having delusions, which interfere with my work.

I'd say the stuff for Bi Polar and Psychosis are the only real drugs out there that have true effects. Everything else is best managed through therapy and self discipline. Or finding careers that suit you, like Mozart had ADHD and was a brilliant composer. It's just when people have ADHD or Autism there's careers they do better at, and the psychology field is trying to medicate it to fit a square peg into a round hole. 

Also, a lot of our great poets and Philosophers had Schizophrenia. Some of the best Rock Songs are written by schizophrenic people. The Romantics about 60% of them had schizophrenia, the others psychopathy or borderline personality disorder or drug addiction. Our great Sci Fi and Horror writers like Philip K. Dick and H. P. Lovecraft both had schizophrenia--that's why you half believe it, which is good for the soul, I think, as it rests the subconscious when a Schizophrenic tells those dark substances, and purges it with literature. Tolkien had PTSD from fighting in the trenches, and had disorganized thinking; I think he actually believed in elves, some evidence would suggest. C. S. Lewis may have had Schizophrenia, based on a hallucination he describes in That Hideous Strength. William Blake was schizophrenic, but lived a wildly interesting life. He was happily married, but ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Lol. I imagine him without writing, that was his medication back then. Lol. Lots of writers who had mental illness. Mark Twain half believed in magic, and used Materialism as a way to ease his mind--that's why he didn't like the 19th century's trend of calling stories "True", and also hated Caxton. Earnest Hemingway had Schizophrenia, probably onset by moral injuries in the Spanish Civil War.
