Its such a negative approach to solving problems. Everything is a disease, executive disfunction? adhd... bla bla bla.. Wouldnt it be enough to say that an individual has trouble in a certain area of life that needs improvement?
Wouldnt it be enough to simply prescribe medications as a form of enhancement of particular aspects of life?This disease model stinks, different doctors have given me a myriad of diagnoses and i seriously wonder about the fact that there is no consistency whatsoever in what they are diagnosing me with. It seems pretty random to me.
Basically, what they are saying is that im utterly f*ck*d up. Is this needed or of any help for me? Is it needed to convince people that they are broken? I seriously wonder if people where actually broken before they got labeled as mentally ill. If you keep telling someone he is sick (where is the blood test?) He may actually break as a result of these harsh judgements. Its like telling a kid that its stupid and worthless. How will that kid feel in the remainder of his life? Thats right stupid and worthless.
Is this of any help? Shouldnt doctors build up on the positive aspects of ones personality, on the resources instead of labeling every weakness as a disease?
Just trying to provoke some reflection on wether or not this is a helpful way of mental health. This is more of a mental disease system than a mental health system.
Is anyone with me?
