Get help they said. People care they said.

Just forget it. I don't believe in the concept of 'mental health' or its supposed opposite. I believe that life can become difficult and extreme, and many people can struggle with very problematic thoughts, I've lived and personally experienced the states of mind that are said by the believers in 'mental health' to constitute being as 'seriously mentally ill' as a person can be, I still don't see any reason to consider these problems 'health problems', and I think it is actively harmful to force people to consider their problems 'health problems', given the fact remains, nobody can prove this, and there are no tests apart from opinion, for these alleged 'illnesses'. People are already detained and tortured, millions of them globally, after being 'deemed' so-called 'mentally ill', and you're right, it is a 'deeming' not an indisputable fact.

Tens of thousands of Germany's forced psychiatry detainees were the victims of genocide, is what I was referring to there, but never mind that for a moment, I understand you believe you're advocating for those labeled 'mentally ill' just understand many of us don't want, and don't even accept the validity of this 'treatment' people are always claiming we 'need'.

After every mass shooting we are vilified and scapegoated as dangerous. We live in fear of being rounded up, detained without charge or trial indefinitely, and losing our right to own our own bodies. This has happened to me. I broke no law. I am a literal second class citizen in society. All because millions of people believe that life's extremes constitute a 'health' problem, and because for hundreds of years those so labeled have been collectively scapegoated for the violence of isolated individuals.

This is a waste of time, I shouldn't have even commented, forgive me for overreacting, it is what it is.

Doctors are expensive because they are a cartel and medical licensing and boards work to keep the supply of doctors down and the salaries high. If a billionaire wanted to import 100,000 foreign doctor immigrants and open a cheap chain of doctors offices the government and the existing doctor cartel would stop him. If someone wanted to open a chain of cut price medical schools and train up a heap of new doctors they'd be stopped too. It is what it is. I don't support, or vote for, any government that refuses to abolish the current cartel system of medicine, if a new political party arrived whose policy it was to massively increase competition in the medical world, I'd be there voting for it to get prices down. Prices will never come down as it stands. The 'middle man' of insurance drives up waste and costs too. People should pay in cash, like for a plumber.

And society is a long way off freeing those it has decided are 'mental patients' from the terror of being treated as psychiatric slaves, so in the end, arguing with one guys remarks about 'dangerous crazies' online was retarded. I've gotta learn. I'm just a traumatized person circling the drain towards giving up in a world that hates and denies agency to those it considers 'mentally ill', I'll be gone before too long. The stress is enough to kill me, it will.
