> I never read Szasz, but when I went to a psychiatrist for the first time at 49, I was pretty much a mess. It wasn't that "society" had deemed me "crazy." I needed and wanted help.
This is me too. I'm not denying that there are other societal aspects going on but I messed myself up psychologically after a break-up and could no longer function. I went to get help. 95%+ of that help (talk therapy, meds, TMS, hypnotherapy etc.) has in fact not helped but that's besides the point I suppose.
FTR I am 20+ years TRD and pure OCD with other fun stuff like chronic pain and IBS-C.
I love the smell of Abilify in the morning. The smell, you know that chemical smell. Smells like victory. Some day this war's gonna end...
