Just because the voices aren't real doesn't mean they don't have a good idea once in a while.

Many mental illnesses do not manifest until the 20's-mid thirtys.
Navy Yard murderer Aaron Alexis created webpage with name "Mohammed Salem"

There has been no other published indication that Aaron Alexis was a Muslim or had any interest in Islam. It may be, however, that in his delusional madness, he began to identify with the jihadists who have committed mass murder in the name of their bloodthirsty god.

To try to get back on track (there was a subject, wasn't there?)...

So, big pharmacy is a problem that'll get us way off in the weeds here (kinda needs its own forum). As Burt's video illistrated, as many others have (and I'm sure we all already know) ...there are so many people out there who are so ignorant about so many things its easy for many to be suckered into just about anyones agenda. But "mental health" is a whole different giant quagmire. The "professionals" within mental health (psychiatrists (MDs), psychologists, social wooers, administrators, etc.) work in a health care field where very little is understood (same field I work in). If you break your arm, go to the hospital, get an X-ray, get it fixed up and get to healing. "Break your brain" its a whole different story. Setting all the cool "breakthrough" stuff aside, daily, run-of-the-mill psychiatric treatment is all symptom based "throw it against the wall to see if it sticks"type of stuff. If a person doesn't show the symptoms or complain about the symptoms, there is no starting point. Even then, if a person does seek treatment, we're back to treating symptoms (because very little is known about "mental illness") and back to "throw it against the wall to see if it sticks."

So, we dance around this thing called mental illness with very little understanding of it or how big of a monster it really is. It seems to serve as a great place to lay blame and at this point in time only cost the state of Oregon about $700 million a year (IIRC) mostly in administrative costs.

That's one really screwed up side, another is the truly tortured souls caught up (or not caught up - just suffering by themselves) who desperately need help and can't get it (or do get the "help" the screwed up system provides and are no better off for it). Treatment for mental health today is better than some of the barbaric things done fifty or a hundred years ago, but sometimes not by much.

Like just about anything else, the government bureaucracy is probably the biggest hurdle to jump over.

Just because the voices aren't real doesn't mean they don't have a good idea once in a while.

I dated a psych nurse named Dawn for the better part of a year. She worked at Portland Adventist in the psych ward and had great stories about patients who saw invisible people and heard voices. The sad thing was that on occasion she would tell me that she saw dead people. We came back from church once and she told me matter of factly that she saw her dead relatives standing by the wall there, and my dead grandparents were there too. She always seemed so normal, but then she would just snap and turn into some other person, and yet, there she was 3-days a week giving meds to "crazy people".

Best work call-in excuse ever:

"I won't be in today, the voices in my head told me I should stay home and clean the guns."

Not anymore that on a recorder would likely
get you a no knock no warrant visit from the local SWAT unit.

A safer one is: I have something in my eye....I can't see myself coming in to work today.

Best work call-in excuse ever:

"I won't be in today, the voices in my head told me I should stay home and clean the guns."

I like the one that goes:

"I was taking my medicine when one of the voices told me to sell the poison, use the money to buy more ammo, and then clean every gun twice!"
