I will not deny that mental illness exists and that it usually goes untreated. Mostly because of the stigma that goes with it.
But I think nowdays doctors are way too quick in putting a label on something and handing out drugs to people like kids in a candy store.
My mother inlaw is a public school teacher in Shitcago. I cant tell you how many times I have had to listen to her drone on about how all her kids in her class have ADD and should be put on Ritalin.
Sounds to me like kids being kids. Let them be kids instead of mindless zombies.
Nymphomania??? I have heard of but not sure of its validity.
And as for everyones brain being different, after my father abandoned me and later died in a car accident my life became quite difficult. Some therpist my mother took me to told me I had bi-polar manic depression. Not that my alcoholic stepfather using me as a punching bag on a daily basis would have anything to do with it. Funny how in my teen years, after I beat his fuckin ass and he left, I really felt better about myself. After I came to terms with my father abandoning me as a child I was even better still. and yet no medication.
Maybe I should blame the alcoholism. There is always an excuse for someones behavior but it doesnt necessarily make it right.
I take back what I said about it being BS.
It just saddens me that most people in this world make excuses for their behavior and we accept it.
