Someone saying they're mentally ill doesn't bother me. I'm perfectly fine with that, in fact I would encourage that terminology.

>Not according to psychiatry.

But that's exactly what psychiatry says it is. Yes there are physical causes and symptoms, and ultimately everything about us is physiological, but it's just the study of labelling abnormal patterns in human development and behavior. There's no "depression gland" or "bipolar chromosome", they're just collecting together commonly occurring issues and labelling them.

>Say you're mentally disturbed, lethargic/sad, deranged, or just depressed. Fuck if I care how you articulate your feelings, unless if it's in that one certain way.

Then what's the problem with coming up with names for those? Why waste your breath with, "Hello, I have a marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors including eye-to-eye gaze and facial expressions, I also fail to develop peer relationships appropriate to my development level, there is a delay in the development of my spoken language, I often engage in stereotyped movement..." when you can just say: "I have autistic disorder"?

But there are hormones and variations in the brain that cause certain behaviors. We're just having lots of trouble mapping them out, but we're slowly getting there. Problem is that most of psychology is not based on those physical symptoms but rather on simple conjecture. You know how these days nobody takes Freudian psychology seriously anymore? It'll be the same for our current psychology in 100 years.

Psychiatry says that every single thing in the DSM is proven to be caused by a biological disease in the brain. From "Intermittent explosive disorder", to "oppositional defiant disorder", to "ADD", "BPD", etc. etc.

Despite them not having proof of this. You're arguing against psychiatry. The things you are saying directly go against psychiatry's foundation.

>>9499415

Mental retardation and being socially inept is real, "autism" is not. Psychiatry turned something that could have later been proven to be a legitimate neurological disease no different from epilepsy, into a fucking joke by "diagnosing" everyone with it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR36jrx_L44

Take that for example. That label has been psychiatry's new fucking play-toy for the past several years, similar to how ADD was in the 90's.

I actually got prescribed amphetamines when I was 3 years old because some "doctor" decided my hyperactivity was happening due to a biological disease in my brain that needed to be cured with amphetamines. Do you really think that is fucking medical science?

>> No.9499483

>>9499415
>"depression gland" or "bipolar chromosome"
There might as well be.

The brain is a very complex thing. If even one thing is off-center, it can really fuck you up. Depression happens because of dopamine and serotonin deficiency, autism is caused by chromosomal defects in meiosis, ASPD is triggered because of low cerebrespinal fluid concentrations and lack of 5-HIAA.

Why can't they administer that as a physical test to verify whether or not someone has "autism"? If autism is a true neurological disease no different then down syndrome or multiple sclerosis, then why can a "genius" like the kid in the youtube video here: >>9499469 be considered autistic, and another mentally retarded kid suffering from severe aphasia also be considered autistic?

If you have a copy of DSM-IV, go to page xxi right now. It makes the point that there isn't a clear-cut distinction between the mental and physical, but you're making a gross generalization about what psychiatrists say.

Here's the lowdown:
>In DSM-IV, each of the mental disorders is conceptualized as a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more areas of functioning) or with a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability, or an important loss of freedom. In addition, this syndrome or pattern must not be merely an expectable and culturally sanctioned response to a particularly event, for example, the death of a loved one. Whatever its original cause, it must currently be considered a manifestation of a behavioral, psychological, or biological dysfunction in the individual. Neither deviant behavior (e.g., political, religious, or sexual) nor conflicts that are primarily between the individual and society are mental disorders unless the deviance or conflict is a symptom of a dysfunction in the individual, as described above.

>> No.9499525

>>9499516

Just would like to mention one more thing regarding this;

>Depression happens because of dopamine and serotonin deficiency.

The unproven hypothesis is that it is a malfunction of the neurotransmitters that control production of serotonin/dopamine, NOT because of a deficiency of serotonin/dopamine.

Serotonin deficiency is actually used to diagnose a certain form of tumor actually.

Autism is genetic. This has been proven with twin studies (notably by Michael Rutter and Susan Folstein). Unfortunately, nobody is quite sure which genes are the problem, and some protective factors still reduce the risk of developing autism (e.g. being female).

There are other symptoms associated with autism that we could develop tests for, e.g. fewer Purkinje cells in the cerebellum, sparser long range fibers in white matter, and overall larger brains. Unfortunately all of these problems are also associated with other problems, and testing would be awkward (scanners are expensive and relatively imprecise, and we can't cut bits of brain out of people's heads).

Autism is definitely real and has both physiological causes and symptoms, but I doubt we'll ever be able to easily check for it. At least not in our lifetime. You'll certainly never be able to pee on a stick or get a DNA sample taken then have a doctor say "yep, you're autistic." That's simply not how it works, and we'll probably always have to actually observe kids and how they behave in order to decide whether they have an ASD.

You know, over time the feeling that YouTube should never have existed keeps growing stronger. If it's such an important issue, why not just write it down in a proper essay or whatnot? Why do I have to sit and listen to some guy for ten straight minutes? And in the unlikely case he does say something interesting, I can't copy and paste chunks of it for discussion. Why do people insist on using such an inferior method of communication on the internet? It simply makes no sense.

(While I'm at it, making a video tutorial for something not strongly requiring visual context should be punishable by death.)
