Mental illnesses aren't real? Or are they?!
Question: Mental illnesses aren't real!? Or are they!?
My therapist just told me mental illnesses are made up by therapists for insurance reasons and that every mental illness is caused by your thoughts not anything wrong with your brain and they really don't know what they are doing, everything is experimental and medication is all for money reasons!. I've been seeing this therapist for about 3 years every two weeks so I think he just confided in me what do you think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe your theRapist should see what it's like to hear voices and have delusional thinking!. I know I've been there and I don't think talking it out would have solved anything!. I'm on meds for that and they help!. Your therapist may be right some respects that they are just labels to diagnose and treat these disorders!. However, to acknowledge that every mental illness is nothing more than a thought disorder seems incorrect!. If anything I think your therapist may have been trying to change your frame of mind to get you thinking that there is nothing wrong with you!. I don't know just a theroy of mine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
All I know is that when I started mood stabilizers, the mania stopped, I haven't been psychotically depressed again, and the quality of my life improved a billion times!. Okay, I know more!. Bipolar results in loss of grey matter!. It causes deterioration of an organ called the brain!. It is a disease!. I'd be happy to let your therapist try it on when at full tilt and then watch him talk his way out of it w/o medicine!. Nah, I'm actually not that cruel!. The point is that he is very wrong about there being no physical cause for certain mental illnesses!. However, he is right that there is no real understanding on cause and medication does not cure, it only helps with symptoms!. More funding for research would change this, but somehow war and most other medical health research rank higher in priority than developing better treatments for mental illnesses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Oh honey, you need to find a different therapist!!!
Medical science has PROVEN that chemical imbalances and sometimes even brain lesions or tumors can cause mental illness!.
I used to work in a psychiatric hospital and trust me, you can't make that stuff up! People would have full on hallucinations and delusions from the imbalances in their brain, and medicine would help them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The therapist is partially correct!. Despite what other posters have said, no one knows why mental illness happens!. yes, brain injury is one cause!.However, the chemical imbalance theory has never been proven!. Pfizer got in trouble when stating this theory in their Zoloft commercials as it was unproven!.
They don't know the cause, so how can they treat it!. They're taking a shotgun approach, hoping something will work!. If my car engine was having problems, I could hit it with a hammer and there's an actual chance it might work, however slim!. However, it would be better to find the problem, its cause and fix it!. I actually told my therapist this!. His response was they (therapists, etc) were trying and it was better than nothing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Fire your therapist!. There are numerous illnesses that are chemically based such as bi-polar, schizophrenia, depression, ADHD,!. Obviously you are not getting the help you need!. Having said that, there are people who need to make changes in their thoughts and behavior in order to get over what is bothering them!. clients need to be proactive!. If you have been in therapy 3 years, you need to ask yourself if you really want to change!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i think ur therapist's delusional or messing with you!. why would there be so many medicines like prozac out there!? plus, i've been on God knows how many depression meds and there are serious differences to them!. i think if your thoughts are messed up, your brain is messed up; it's like being in a fog!. and meds do really help, but part of it is your feelings that's why therapists come with psychiatrists, usually!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Mental illness is a lie from hell!.

I do find the defining of mental illness really interesting, as you could view it as a type of social control!. But I do believe some people can benefit from mental health intervention, whether medical or therapeutic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
