sometimes i get a little stressed out because i’m living in a part of history that’ll one day be talked about and discussed and papers written and what am i doing? what have i done? laundry, barely
I’m so thankful I have an appointment with a health psych on Friday morning. I feel so overwhelmed by how unwell I feel right now. I feel like I’m not well enough to work. But on the other hand I feel like I should be able to work even though I’m sick because what’s wrong with me isn’t even that bad by reasonable standards. Problem is I’m immune suppressed. I feel like a total prat because I have a little bit of anxiety around coronavirus and my immune suppressed and dodgy-lunged state, because literally one person has it in the opposite end of the state.
All in all it’s not a fun time to be in my head, but I am proud of myself for finally getting a referral to someone who specialises in the area I need support in in this phase of my life.
HOLD ME UP TO THE LIGHT TO SEE WHAT’S INSIDE OF ME
“A picture showing a man or a woman jumping off a window is a picture of a person with psychiatric issues who, suddenly, acts in an incomprehensive way, if we exclusively frame the person leaning out of the window or falling from it. However, were we to enlarge the field of vision in order to obtain the whole image, we would be able to see, for example, a line of police vans with military equipment about to evict the person in question.
The real reason behind the act is the situation of vulnerability with regards to basic items necessary to live that many people experience in our time. Knowledge of the specific facts, the missing parts of the image, make the supposed psychiatric issues melt like snow in the sun.
Psychiatry is the act of eliminating context. Psychiatry doesn’t listen, it doesn’t want to listen, it doesn’t want to know. It only considers the fragment, an unjustified behavior or an idea openly in contrast with social conventions and it silences it.
Going back to the picture of the person who jumps off the window: the cut that eliminates the police aggression will be made by, for instance, a newspaper that belongs to the bank who evicts the person. This would lead to the apparent non-existence of a cause for the search for death, in order to direct the discourse towards the psychiatric issues of a sick person. In other words, psychiatry is at the service of power. Of course, it is much easier to quickly eliminate those who denounce important issues rather than confronting and solving them, like guaranteeing everyone, no exception, a house and an equitable distribution of the planet’s resources.”
— Paolini, M. 2018. Preface. In: Antonucci, G. El prejuicio psiquiátrico. Pamplona: Katakrak. [Translation mine]
I never comment on reblogs but “Psychiatry is the act of eliminating context” is the most cogent articulation of this issue I’ve ever heard—this whole passage is brilliantly illustrative and I’m so grateful for the translation.
This is why we have social work. Because social work puts the context back into the person + situation. It’s why I love what I do.
have a nice day :)
