Mental Illness and the Psych Ward

[paulpablo]

And yeah, I do not know why America is a breeding ground for mental illness

I only have info based from documentrys ive seen, but from what seems to be big issues in america id say it develops possibly from diet,
but i think its mainly cultural that a lot of the people who are labelled mentally ill arent mentally ill.
Teenagers seem to be proud of their mental illnesses, specifically bi polar, and ADD.
The people who specialise in diagnosing these things create a need for their own specialisation the more people they diagnose people with mental illness. Like a pied piper but the rodents are imaginary.
Especially with ADD unless it is very extreme and the person is just constantly in a boiling rage i dont see ADD as being a problem in teenagers.
Like i said i got told i might have ADD in high school but looking back i was a teenager just reaching sexual maturity, all my primal instrincts are geared towards fighting, fucking and generally causing trouble at that stage in life, and people think its a mental disorder that you cant sit in a dull class room and work on maths problems without being easily distracted. Not that im against education, im just saying having difficulty paying attention unless very very extreme isnt a mental illness in my opinion and i think it gets branded onto too many people.
