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.

Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Does Being Rich Make You Less of a Christian?
No, not necessarily. You can be loved and rich as a Christian.
Riches don’t mean you’re righteous or unrighteous. They simply are rewarded to the person who works. So, a drug dealer who works, gets rich. It’s not good money, but they get rich. They get bombshell girlfriends. They get lots of power. And they continue until they’re old—most of them, unless they ticked off higher powers than themselves—and they die old men and living like kings.
You also have the lowest poor, who steal, rob, rape, murder, will be in and out of prison, will oppress other homeless people, will cause all sorts of harm on themselves and society. And there’s lots and lots of poor people just like this.
And you also have rich men, who give fortunes to the poor, and build schools and hospitals and charities, and do all sorts of great feats of wonders for the world. They do so many wonderful things, build projects in the ghettos, supply clean water to isolated villages, lift MILLIONS OUT OF POVERTY. They actively make the world a better place.
And you also have righteous people who are homeless, persecuted, have sores on them, many mental illnesses and many diseases, and can’t get up, and are scum of the earth.
What’s to understand, is you can’t buy a stairway to heaven. That poor person who can do nothing for anyone but himself, but rather lives righteously, is just as pleasing in God’s eyes as the Billionaire who does great feats of wonderful charity for all. This is why you can’t earn salvation, because then the rich would be at an advantage, and the poor not. So… that’s why Jesus praised the widow giving in her two mites. It wasn’t out of spite that she did that, either… some people say it was a spiteful ritual. No… she gave in freewill and faith, and it was all she had. And the Pharisees were scorning her for giving what she could. But, she couldn’t give anymore, and they thought due to their riches, God showered them with favor, and that their tithing of mint and dill and cummin was better than the Widow’s. That’s not true.

My Study Habits
1. Start with a question.
a. When you're doing a project for school even, starting with a question can be the best beginning. You want to know something, learn that one thing in your class.
2. Find numerous sources with a credible ethos expounding upon your question, trying to answer it.
a. Find dozens if not hundreds of people to give you an answer. Listen to all of them, and derive from all of it a meaning.
b. There was once a treasure that was found, by simply asking millions of people where it was, and then taking the bulk data, and finding a location through analyzing it. Studying is like that, where you'll find many different views, to find the location.
3. Synthesize an answer. Find the truth, using all the data you collected, and synthesize an answer.
a. By using all the information--even information you disagree with is helpful, as it can find avenues for new areas of learning, and even your opponents can have hidden gems wrapped up in their disagreements--you can find a good answer.
4. Test your answer.
a. Don't just be happy with your answer, ask people in every day about your answer. Discuss with people the answer. Talk to people. Have dialogues. Get opinions from people who are more advanced than you are, and people who know nothing of the topic.
5. Revise your answer based on the testing.
a. Revising your answer, gives you more correct analysis. Always be asking people, and actively listening. Don't assume your knowledge is complete, but rather get knowledge from every source.
6. Write down your entire process.
a. From start to finish, document your entire process. Get the wrong answers, and then find when they've reached the nuance to where they're correct, and don't stop revising your answer, just because you think you know it.
7. Be humble. And have good faith.
a. No one has complete knowledge. So listening to many people, and gathering insights from many people, all having studied and come to answers too, you build upon it to a correct solution.
8. Making connections.
a. Make connections with everything else you've learned, and don't just isolate the knowledge into one context. Connect it to everything else you know, and learn through making webs of contexts.
Argument Through Number
It’s not “Things are real, therefore God exists.” Neither is it “God says this is good, therefore He exists.”
So, the reason we know God exists from Mathematics, isn’t because they’re real, but because they’re so intricate, and so complex, but also impossible to have not been designed. Like, study Euclid for a few days, you’ll understand the argument from Math a lot better than abstractions about Algebra.
Like, why do these things work this way? Why does a number used for Cosine or Sine shape an exact formula for a triangle? Always? Why does tangent get you to a singular point? Why? Why does calculus work? But we know it does… and that’s a lot like faith, actually. Calculus is a leap of faith. We know the answer—because we study the pattern—but obviously you can’t reach the limit without division. Even division is a leap of faith. There’s no way to divide, beside through trial and error, and simply understanding the answer. Unlike Subtraction, Multiplication and Addition, Division’s the only one where you have to make a leap to the answer. And that’s also why I think some Biblical phrases talk about “Dividing” the truth.
But you understand through that that there’s a design in the fabric of the universe. It’s not “It’s real, therefore we know.” It’s “Wow, that looks designed.”
My Pithy Thoughts on Different Beliefs
Do you want to know why I’m not an Atheist? Because I feel ethics are inherently visible in the real world, and beyond human judgment.
Do you know why I’m not a Hindu? Because I believe Castes are abhorrent, and are an excuse to make people miserable.
Do you know why I’m not a Muslim? Because they teach violence as part of their faith.
Do you know why I’m not a Buddhist? Because I think the real world is able to be understood, and isn’t a product of our mind.
Do you know why I’m not a Pagan? Because their gods are petty and cruel, and sometimes outright teach people to do the worst things imaginable.
Do you know why I’m not a Sikh or Bahi? Because I think people do rotten things, and need forgiven, and only Christianity has that covered.
Do you know why I’m not a Jew? Because its law, though perfectly just, would kill me.
Do you know why I’m a Christian? Because Christ taught perfect moral ethics, and died for us.
Do you know why I’m not a Pythagorean? Because I think humans have violent streaks, and eating meat is good for us, and so are violent stories.
Do you know why I’m not a Confucian? Because though it aligns with everything I believe perfectly, Christ died for us and gave us a hope, when we’ve blatantly failed.
Do you know why I’m not a Taoist or Mozi? Because though it aligns perfectly with my beliefs, I think Christ is paramount to raise and therefore give us hope, as this life cannot satisfy.
Do you know why I’m not Zoroastrian? Because I can’t believe evil and good are coequal.
Ultimately, Christ is the only wise or good God. And the only answer to life’s pointless suffering.
