Psychiatry used to say that homosexuality was a mental illness. In the Soviet Union they had some 'mental illness' diagnosis for people that didn't like communism and they involuntarily commited them. This is the same field that was forcibly lobotomizing people with an ice pick through the eye socket and then jiggling it around to scramble a person's brains... and they thought this was a good idea. This is the field that still subjects people to involuntary electro-shock 'therapy' (look it up - it's still going on). Psychiatry is hopelessly evil.
"A disturbing piece was published in the Journal of Clinical
Psychiatry. In it is a study that claims people who are
anti-government or believe in conspiracies around the government are
suffering from a condition called Anti-Government Phobia (AGP).
Meaning that anyone who has a distaste for the government, the way it
operates, its polices and believes there is a particular force behind
it, must be mentally ill. The implications here are frightening, if
you feel the government is doing something that will harm you and that
it is a part of a bigger plan, you are sick. Thus the government can
respond as though you are a a threat.
This is what the study actually claims:
This study conclusively demonstrates that unfounded fear of
government is a recognizable mental illness, closely related to
paranoid schizophrenia. Anti-Government Phobia (AGP) differs from most
mental illnesses, however, in that it is highly infectious and has an
acute onset. Symptoms include extreme suspiciousness,
conspiracy-mongering, delusional thought patterns, staunch us against
them mentality, withdrawal from reality, and often religious
fanaticism."
