You have to have a term in the diagnostic and statistical manual in order to then call it a disease and treat it as a disease and write a prescription for it. When I went to medical school, there were only six or seven items in the manual. Now there are over 300. I mean, you mean to tell me that there have been 294 diseases discovered in the last 60

years in psychiatry alone? It's a joke. It's an epidemic of psychiatry that we are dealing with. We don't have an epidemic of mental illness, we have an epidemic of psychiatry. You eat too much, it's a disease, it's an addiction.

You smoke too much, it's a disease. You're too unhappy, it's a disease. You're too thin, it's a disease. You're too fat, it's a disease. You have too little sex, it's a disease.

You have too much sex, it's a disease. No free will. It's all chemicals. No self-discipline. No self-control. A chemical imbalance meshes very well with the idea that you give a drug which restores the balance. It's a story. A mythology. A fable. And that's the baseline from which we are operating now in America.

The child doesn't perform the way he should or behave the way he should. He is not responsible. Some chemicalist will give him a chemical. You hear day in and day out on television that this is a mental illness and that's a mental illness. And Zoloft is advertised. Beer you can't advertise, but Zoloft you can advertise. Now this is not just psychiatry. It's the whole psychiatrization of the culture.

Now what's more toxic? Zoloft or beer? Amen. Case closed. The internal contradiction in these very concepts is so total that they don't stand up to any scrutiny. Nobody has yet measured, demonstrated or created a test to show that somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain. Period. Psychiatrists are getting more and further and further and further away from this human to human touch.

And they are becoming more and more quacks where they talk and act and impersonate doctors. They talk about diagnosis and treatments and the brain and all this kind of stuff about which they know nothing. Zero. It's not science. It's politics and economics. That's what psychiatry is. Politics and economics. Behavior control. It is not science. It is not medicine. This is so big that it boggles the mind.
