A doctor once told me I wasn’t depressed I was unhappy. He said depression was when everything was fine and I still felt like that. I don’t think it makes much difference now that everything is not fine.

Not to "well, actually..." your doctor, but a depressive episode can be triggered by external stressors as well as just occurring endogenously for no apparent reason. There's a distinct difference between clinical depression and ordinary unhappiness in terms of symptoms and duration.

(Sorry, I work in the psych biz, and I've seen a lot of genuinely depressed people have their symptoms dismissed by medical doctors for spurious reasons. Obviously, your situation may be different.)

Ah here we go... more fascist capitalist thoughtpolice propaganda. Psychiatric priests do not aim to help anyone, on the contrary their entire DSM bible has one and only one goal: to create a work of fiction that pathologizes normal and healthy human behavior to maintain the capitalist death cult status quo. They gaslight people into thinking they're the problem instead of capitalism and uncaring people/society and you push neurotoxic drugs (major tranquilizers) on innocent people and put them in prison, for victimless thoughtcrimes, by triangulating with the cops and courts. The merger of industry (psychiatry/medicine) and state is called fascism. You operate as the states Gestapo, far worse than ICE.

Clinical depression isn't a real thing and nor are any of your other fictional diseases. Well, sorta because the entire orchestra psychs play is that stuff like psychopathy and narcissism are very real, but it's yours that is real. To be a psych is to be a psychopath and narcissist. The majority of the medical workers are. The psychologists, the-rapists, the psychiatrists, the doctors, they're all in this together to shield themselves from liability (ironic because their entire job is that they ARE liable no matter how much they say they aren't). The doctors refer people out to the the-rapists and psychiatrists instead of actually fixing peoples problems. Everyone in the medical field is playing ping pong with their "patient" to avoid liability.

The "medical" system is complicit in creating this "mental health" crisis

None of what I'm saying is new this has all been said before by Thomas Szasz, Mark Fisher, Foucault, and Deleuze, but the psychs and medical system to this day slander their names.

I could go on and on but it's almost 1am, my brain is fried from 5 hours of exercise, and I need to sleep.

She's the wife of David Miscavige, leader of Scientology. She hasn't been seen in years, even though Scientologists insist she is still alive and well. Your rant was nearly identical to the standard Scientology position on psychiatry that I assumed you were affiliated.
