What is mental illness?
A 'mental illness' is a disorder of the brain that results in a disruption in a person's thinking, feeling, moods, and socialization.

Yet our heart affects the way we feel as much as anything. A person with a big heart, or spirit, will have more confidence, and vice-versa.

So if in treating a mental illness, why do we not use pills that target our heart/spirit as well?

Is it because we do not know the source of our spirit?

And if that is the case, why then do we attempt to correct something that we do not fully understand?

It would be a bit like smashing a computer in order to turn it off. Why not simply pull the plug?

Our selfishness has overcome the species.

We are vainly attempting to destroy each other because we do not want anyone else to succeed.

And because of this, the only real option will be to kill each other.

Genius!

Re: What is mental illness?
depends how you define "mental illness". these days it can mean just about anything. i know a couple of schizophrenes that absolutely NEED that pharma "spin balance" to prevent them howling at the moon and growling at the passing busses, but i also know a couple of doped up by the shrink folks who really have no real problem aside from general dissatisfaction, or tragedy related grief. most like to take the easy route, it prevents having to actually wade around in the cesspool and clearing the drain

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24990026


If humans are a social creature, then living this "reality" would be a mental illness.

We are meant to connect, and to help each other. Not to avoid the truth about what is happening to people in other countries.

We as a species are not meant to consume past the point where it directly affects someone else.

We pave the way with Gold for anyone brave enough to take their lives into their own hands, and become Gods among men.

But what do you think happens to those who are not Gods?

What do you think happens to those souls whom are not important?

And your faith is broken

i tend to agree, just less the spiritual mumbo jumbo. look, here in the states at least, it's pretty much all about cutting the other cats throat. you know you've "made it" when your road to success is littered with corpses behind you (metaphorically for the most part). that's where the conflict comes in. we're hard wired for cooperative effort, but pushed by circumstance and greed to abandon that primal imperative so we can have the junk we brainwash ourselves into believing we need. there's a couple of "fixes" for that situation: you can be introspective (tie on the hip waders and grab the drain auger, and finally flush the shit out so you can be what you really are), but that takes effort. it means facing the reality of ones own lack of humanity. the other choice is just popping a "happy pill", and numbing it all into the background noise. that allows "keeping up with the jones' " without the pesky distraction of overt self loathing. it's the path of least resistance for most.

Spirituality is not "mumbo jumbo" so long as we are human beings who feel with our hearts.

Only a machine would not feel, and would argue that to do so, is some sort of illness.

Yes, this "reality" has created mental illness.

And it has been going on since humans evolved egos, and decided to ignore their problems.

Simple solution; be a human being, deal with your problems, be responsible for who you are, and live your life.
