How do people define themselves? By their actions in the physical word.
A person can be a mother or a father, and by behaving like a mother or a father , they are a mother/father.
Ones profession defines a person. A person can be for example an electrician/tradesman/constructing or maintaining something, police officer or fireman, or entertainer such as an artist of some kind. Often a person’s job is a part of themselves, when people retire (or win the lottery) they often have problems adapting to no longer working.
Without their physical actions, work of the job, people can lose their identity.
Psychiatry typically removes the ability of the “severe” mental illness person to work, by administering mind altering addictive meds-drugs and poor self-esteem that comes with a label and expectations of the label-diagnosis of severe mental illness.
The patient can only BE a patient, the patient knows on some level of consciousness that to be a genuine man or woman they must be performing the actions of a man or woman. The label/designation and the mind altering drugs fulfil the societal role as a useless parasite on society. If the patient quits the psychaitric drugs their mental illness often resurface once again, as their thoughts and feelings (the root of mental illnes) have not been addressed, just suppressed by antipsychotics/brain tranquilizers. The patient is trapped as a vampire on society , receiving income and-or housing from the Government, from the taxes the working people of their country pay.
What does the psychiatrist produce?
Out of 193 patients, 41 were considered to be impostors and a further 42 were considered suspect.
Lisa comments on Furiousseasons.com “I am so tired of hearing if people would just take their medicine. She was loaded up on medicine when I saw her recently. Her eyes were glazed. She constantly smacks her lips because of the TD. She staggered around like a drunk because of all the antipsychotics. Is she living? Well, she’s breathing. Job well done.”
It could be worse. In China lobotomy is?/ was still used. ["He wasn't like this before," Mr. Mi's mother says, as her son rocked in his chair at the family's home and blinked his left eye sporadically. "Before, he didn't talk much. But now, when he talks, nobody understands."]
Disabled by mental illness. No one diagnosed mentally ill can ever become non-mentally ill, sane or “normal”, their mental illness is just in remission according to the legal drug pushers. The question is “When will the town be overrun?” as in the mentally ill ratio to “normal” working persons.
‘Salem’s Lot
“Salem’s Lot describes the destruction of a small New England town by Barlow, Vampire King. Barlow’s only opponents are Ben Mears, a local writer, Mark Petrie, a teenage boy, and four of their friends. Led by Ben, these six people gradually become aware that the townspeople are being turned into the undead. Although Ben and Mark ultimately kill the King Vampire, this victory comes at great personal cost. All their friends die along the way, including Ben’s girlfriend, and the town itself is overrun by the vampires.“

Psychiatrists say that if you were REALLY crazy you wouldn’t know it.
As in you can not see-judge-reflect on your own actions objectively.

TLP may see psychiatry in the mirror. From TLP blog post how_am_i_going_to_get_paid
“…surprisingly, we have a lot of poor people in the country. The government has found a way to transfer to them just enough money and services to keep them from rioting, without calling it a transfer, without calling it socialism. Simultaneously, it manages to pay doctors, hospitals, employers (through tax breaks), etc. Where is all the money coming from?
Debt.”

Robert Whitaker -Mad in America
In 1850 the U.S. census counted 15,610 insane in a total population of 21 million, or 1 out of every 1,345 people. Thirty years later 91,997 people, in a population of 50 million, were deemed insane, or 1 out of every 554 people.
year 1945, 1 in 300
“One in every 50 Americans disabled by mental illness today. And it’s still increasing.”

The number of insane people per population over time can not be considered science.
Before the discovery of penicillin many cases of insanity were Venereal Disease (a real disease).
Epilepsy was removed as a mental illness about the year 1950. Szasz “Coercion as cure”
Homosexuality was just recently removed as a mental illness.

“Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness. In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada for ages 15-44.”
