@1s2atomexit Yes, it should
ethical norms of psychiatry & psychology, counseling too
The entire, so called, "mental health" sector, need to be rewritten
In fact, there shouldn't be a "mental health" sector, at all
That in itself is manipulation, deception, domination, deprivation of options

@1s2atomexit The very first step for anyone who decided to seek support for some temporarily or long term circumstances they are finding disabling should be to be fully informed of their rights under CRPD Guidance, to ensure they understand them

@1s2atomexit Every guilds offerings, constructs etc need to be presented fully and honestly, as nothing more than optional constructs & ideally there should be *independent* deceion making support available to decide what things people wish to choose

@1s2atomexit This comes under the umbrella of support of will & preferences free from undue influence and Pressure for full inclusion and participation
It is under the rights based model of disability, not the medical model aim is not to try to drive the person's unaccommodated diversity out

@1s2atomexit They have the right to make sense of what they are going through in their own time and access reasonable adjustments to any lack of accommodation of their diversity
This gets cheaper and cheaper for government to achieve the more flexible to individual needs & circumstances

@1s2atomexit That the society is, in the first place
For example: a society that expects people to work 60 hours per week to put food on the table and a roof over their head, doesn't really accommodate anyone 🤷🏻‍♀️
So people who find they can't keep up with that, or are even injured by it

@1s2atomexit Are going to be much more expensive to accommodate
Whilst if the culture is for some much more flexible arrangement
Let's say at the other extreme it's more dominated by macroeconomics for community and life based economy

@1s2atomexit Not a rat race to produce status and money, waste & environmental damage
There might be something like a universal basic income standard with a job guarantee
So that we all do part of the contributing to what the community needs as we are able
But there's plenty of room

@1s2atomexit For times when we aren't
There are, of course, many other different ways that societies and economies can be organised, as well
But there should never, ever be such a thing as "diagnosing" a "mental illness"
That's just deception, manipulation, domination, deprivation of options

@1s2atomexit Especially as doctor-patient has long been recognised as a presumed relationship of undue influence!
So much so a contract between a doctor and their patient is presumed to have been formed under impaired consent!

@1s2atomexit So psychiatrists & GPs practicing reification of a symbolic, philosophical ideology likening some kind of emotional suffering to bring sort of like being ill
Or worse, some kind of diversity as a "mental aberration" to eliminate
Really, reallY should be malpractice!

@1s2atomexit They can offer the idea, honestly, for ppl to choose or not
But they definitely don't get to gatekeep access to support
Or differentially appoint rights

@1s2atomexit medical model gatekeeping and reification of medical models of Psychosocial disability (all of "mental health") is explicitly against CRPD guidance, already 🤷🏻‍♀️

@1s2atomexit Sorry for length, again!
