Sound stupid?
Sound like none of those things actually constitute a mental disorder?
Then you’d be right.
And yet, it’s what the entire psychiatric system is based on.

And yet, it’s what the entire psychiatric system is based on.
We have been fed 100 years of lies, racism, homophobia, misogyny, elitism, classism and stigma - to the point where people actually believe their completely natural and normal reactions to stress and trauma are mental disorders which require medical treatment.
During this process, the people most impacted by faux diagnoses, over-medication, and lifelong pathologisation have been marginalised groups - but in my opinion, no one has paid a higher price than women and girls
I cannot stand by and watch as thousands more women and girls are diagnosed with ‘personality disorders’ and other bullshit disorders when they are clearly going thru stuff. My feminism, radical feminism, is not compatible with psychiatry and I will argue that til my last breath.
If you are interested in these arguments - keep an eye out for this coming out soon.
