The Medicalization and Demonization of Mental Health

The DSM is the main reason for the pathologization of mental health. The main problem with mental health is labeling individuals as abnormal. In reality, individuals have normal reactions to abnormal environments. People aren’t dysfunctional, their environment is.

Mental health conditions are not brain pathologies, they are adaptations. We adapt to our environments. Even “severe” mental health conditions are not dysfunction, they are caused by environment. The causes of mental health conditions are the same as all conditions: Toxicity, Deficiency, and Traumas (Psychological or physical). Toxic environments (schools, offices, etc.), deficiencies (nutritional, microbial, nature, sunlight, love, nurture), physical traumas (head contact, etc.), and psychological traumas (abuse, distant parents, etc.).
