I try not to engage in either/or thinking but I have reason to understand it very well. And there's no point in being upset over it.

Its totally appropriate to totally reject the current situation in mental health, with its emphasis on outward behaviors, psychology, psychology based diagnosis and lack of neurological science rigor.
This therapy stuff teaches you to compromise too much, to just go along and accept things the way they currently are. I dont accept that and do not agree with it. I do not accept a situation that I see as fundamentally flawed...and I see psychiatry as basically fundamentally flawed. Sometimes either/or thinking motivates people to change things...to become politically active. Thats what we need here...the mentally ill need to become politically active and take control of things.
Psychiatry...gag...makes me wanna vomit all over myself. Id rather be a either/or thinker than a sheep.
