And before anyone says "depression," that's not an illness. I mean sure, maybe it's a mental condition, but so is "anger" and so is "jealously" and "happiness" and "euphoria" as well as any kind of emotional state you can think of. Being sad does not make you special, everyone is sad from time to time. Just man the fuck up and stop being used by pharmaceutical companies.

you keep thinking that there's something amazing that's going to happen

you don't know what it is, but you can feel that it's going to happen in your lifetime, maybe some sort of technological advancement that will change everything

but because it hasn't happened yet, every day is a chore, the people around you say pointless things for no reason other than to enjoy the sound of their own voices, everybody around you thinks they have something important to say but you're constantly finding holes in their logic

you constantly wonder why society works the way it does, why people act the way they do, and why you were born different as opposed to everybody else who seem to be able to navigate the drudgery of life and come away with at least a handful of happiness

This is somewhat true. Unless you come on to /jp/ mentally prepared, you will become more cynical and depressed over time. It's a slow, but steady, process, so I try to limit my time on /jp/.

Why is it that normalfags will believe the most baseless, groundless, ridiculous of claims merely because they agree with their own preconceived or imprinted notions?
One could always suggest that being molested themselves helps them realize just how good it felt to be touched, and want to help other children feel good just like they did.
It's just as reasonable if not more so than yours, which seems like it would be not out of place in the Daily Mail.


I know for myself that having anal sex with my brother when I was young was what led me to becoming obsessed with anal masturbation since I was in primary school. I wonder if some people actually believe all the trite that gets thrown around about childhood being some wonderful age of innocence where people are completely unable to feel any kind of sexual pleasure until they reach whatever age is considered the norm to start having open relations in their culture, generally some time around high school.
Also, sadism!= pedophilia. Sadism is a normalfag fetish anyway, masochism is where it's at.

>In the summer of 1993, Jackson was accused of child sexual abuse by a 13-year-old boy named Jordan Chandler and his father, Dr. Evan Chandler, a dentist.[112][113][114] The Chandler family demanded payment from Jackson, and the singer initially refused. Jordan Chandler eventually told the police that Jackson had sexually abused him.[115] Dr. Chandler was tape-recorded discussing his intention to pursue charges, saying, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". Jordan's mother was, however, adamant that there had been no wrongdoing on Jackson's part.[114] Jackson later used the recording to argue that he was the victim of a jealous father whose only goal was to extort money from the singer.[114]

Pregnancy and sex are two different things. Or are you going to tell all the sluts out their that they shouldn't be using birth control to live their immoral lives?
Also, the youngest recorded pregnancy was at 6. Are you saying its alright to have sex with 6 year olds since there's a chance to get pregnant?

Secondly, plenty of studies in animal sexuality have shown there exist significant amount of mating between adult/juvenile pairs (juvenile referring to those members of the population too young to reproduce), a significant (I think it was about 33% in one) proportion of the pairings were initiated by the juvenile.

High function autism is basically means they can function in ordinary everyday life without help, however suffer from some difficulties, being able to function doesn't mean the difficulities are minor though.

social retardation or whatever is actually the term used when people were less aware of autism and they still are.

I feel surreal, I fear panic attacks and other such things all the time. Although I guess the surreal feeling might be caused by my lack of sleep.
I also hear voices (usually calling my name or an old online nick) and see things "wrong" at times, but I guess those could also be a result from my lack of sleep.

No, "real autists" often can't even talk or take care of themselves. They really are retarded. It is probably true that some people diagnosed with aspergers (or maybe HFA) are just not-so-social nerds.

This.

And this is probably the reason "autism" has stuck so thoroughly to /jp/, too. /jp/ is antisocial. That means they're autistic, right? Wrong.

If people want to call a mental illness fake, they shouldn't go after one that you're born with. Autism starts from birth, signs occur very early on.

Extreme paranoia and hallucinations. Sounds like you might be in the prepsychotic phase. If you drink or smoke weed, I would stop now. If you don't do either, all the more need for you to see a psychiatrist, because you must be very sensitive to it if it's happening without some trigger.

Then I should have said "If you want to call an illness fake, choose a mental illness, not a neurological one."

I'm assuming you can't be born with anything that would be classified as a mental illness, then.

But people think and feel differently. Then it goes without saying that there are good and bad systems of mind, constructive and destructive. Some people have very destructive thought systems that make it impossible for them to function properly. At that point, you can call it a mental illness. No, it isn't something you can point at in the physiology and show very rawly and precisely what is wrong, but it's still something that needs to be treated.

growing medical knowledge of brain, is gradually showing us where neurological and mental problems are and what is causing them.

so it might not simply be a case of you can't see it, but a case of we don't know enough about the brain to see it.

sure maybe some psychiatrists are too eager to medicate hyperactive kids that don't really have ADD

but are you saying that it's absolutely impossible that something could be screwed up in someone's head, making it so they have erratic thought patterns and can't concentrate?

sure it's an emotional state, but that doesn't mean it's not an illness you moron

what causes our emotions? chemicals in our brains

is it CONCEIVABLE that SOMEHOW, the chemistry in someone's brain could get all fucked up, subjecting them to certain emotional states for no reason?

I don't understand why people believe that the brain is immune to disease or something.

I mean we all know that some diseases like diabetes are caused by a screwed up internal chemistry, well why can't something like that happen to the brain?

Proof? OCD is only "obsessively" needing to give in to certain "compulsions," and refraining from doing so causing distress, to such a degree that it seriously impairs one's life. But what if the things one was obsessive and compulsive about were things they didn't really need to go out of their way to do? Not everyone's going to be obsessive about washing their hands for half an hour until the flesh is exposed. I had a friend who, when finishing up a game, would save. And then I'd watch him and he'd continue a save again and again for about a minute. Telling him he had already saved was no use. It was strange and obsessive, and he had other things he addressed like that, but it was hardly a major impediment on his life, because of the things they were.

By "serious" you really mean harmful to one's life. If there was a strange condition that made people do relatively insignificant and harmless things, you wouldn't call it serious, nor would you really want to call it a condition.

What's to say that OCD isn't really the diagnosis of obsession and compulsion only when the things they are obsessive and compulsive about cause them harm?

no

it's obsessions AND compulsions

not "obsessive compulsions"

they're separate issues

and sure some people can exhibit weird OCD like behaviors but if those behaviors are not chronic or debilitating then it's not OCD

Basically, you're saying that OCD can only be diagnosed when it's damaging. It's not the state of mind that's causing this, but a combination of the obsessions, compulsions and the activities they are specific to. In that case, "everyone has some form of OCD, but it's only really OCD when it becomes extremely problematic" would be accurate.

My little brother was recently diagnosed with Asperger's. He talks loudly and will argue even when blatantly wrong. He's also unable to ride a bike or tell time from an analogue watch.
He's obsessed with collecting Legos, Kamen Rider action figures, Busou Shinki, Gundams and figmas.
