so apparently the dsm 6 is being structured around bio-pathologizing mental illness specifically in the direction of biomarkers…if u aren’t concerned about this maybe you should be…

DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any

Psychiatry is hard at work crafting the newest edition of its diagnostic bible, DSM-6.

[sin0fempathy]

…so they’re now trying to search for “biomarkers”- which are essentially genes, or circumstances of conception/birth/what have you, that can “increase the risk” of mental illnesses. how is this any different from people wondering if there’s a “gay gene?” or autism speaks trying to find a genetic or reproductive “cure for autism?”

it’s not. this is barely disguised eugenics that they have ACKNOWLEDGED may (will) do more to harm than good for people with abnormal mental states. what else could the end result of finding a “mental illness gene” be than a reason to further marginalize those who are already marginalized, already branded as more likely to be (or even inherently) “mentally ill” and eventually discourage them to reproduce, either by coercion or force?

it’s more obvious than ever now. everyone should be anti psych

[ysmkinza]

Psychiatry as an institution functions to obfuscate the causes of mental and emotional disturbance (economic exploitation, abuse, lack of access to resources, etc) by describing mental illness as an individual pathology that needs to be recognized and treated by science.

Given where these hardships cluster most intensely, it is extremely useful to white supremacy and eugenics to have a "scientific" method of proving that pathology is more common among "degenerate" populations.

The DSM's various incarnations have corresponded to shifts in which part of this process have been considered more or less important to prioritize - the latest restructuring to focus on biomarkers is just a recalibration to better suit the needs of the imperial-capitalist white supremacist project.

the transandrophobia due to one trans man being shitty to you is an insane way to display that you’ll become bigoted at the drop of a hat because I’ve been assaulted and abused by trans men before and I still know not all of them are bad people I’m still not saying “bomb that kills all transmascs” I still know not to generalize people especially marginalized people . Get a grip and stop being a bigot

[actuallyverynormalbtw]

It was truly something to grapple with, realizing that telling my story meant painting another trans person as “evil” and reinforcing unfair stereotypes about the “predatory nature” of trans women. My ex was evil and predatory on account of being an abusive piece of shit, not her trans identity. And I had a lot of people in my early recovery try to convince me otherwise or that she just isn’t really a woman, despite being a trans man myself.

I actively decided not to listen to that shit. I actively made the choice to continue to engage in t4t relationships without projecting her abuse onto other women. I think more people should make the choice to recognize that abuse has no gender. It hurts that so many other trans people don’t feel the same solidarity, and would rather project the abuse they have faced onto trans men as a whole.

[thisistheworldofgays]

you shouldnt kill yourself because frankly its such an overdone and unoriginal response to emotional pain, and ill be entirely honest you just cannot pull it off or make it interesting like itd really just be embarrassing for you like do something original

[actuallyverynormalbtw]

Everytime I describe my forced psychiatric hospitalizations as the government legally kidnapping me, nobody can really say anything to argue without their breath stinking of boot.

Our government has the right to capture and detain civilians and then threaten them with further violence if they don’t comply with their demands. Why doesn’t this bother you????

[pjbifun]

As someone who was kidnapped and held at gunpoint for a year and tortured mercilessly and now (20 odd times previously) in a psychiatric facility, I can say even the most brutally fascist elements of psychiatric incarceration are markedly different than kidnapping. I've been starved, r@ped, tortured, and threatened with execution countless times. Yes, the banal more "civilized" forms of abduction by the therapeutic police state are awful. And more prominent. And more dangerous. But had to put my two cents in. Of course, it's trickier to speak about others' experiences. But I think there needed to be a bit of a distinction. Respectfully. I think it's best spelled out in Foucault's "Discipline and Punish."

[actuallyverynormalbtw]

That’s a completely valid point, I apologize for overstepping with my language.

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Growing up, I felt that Adults were inherently a threat.

I hear my own footsteps, the sound of my keys, and the door closing behind me. Some small part in me still feels threatened.
