title. i took a few years off of all social media, including lemmygrad, but i could have sworn there was such a community back when i frequented lemmygrad before the break. i found one major post on the topic from 3 years ago and several comments that lead to errors, which i assume is because the posts they were under were deleted or removed. what exactly is the history there? if the community was banned or removed what was the reasoning?
furthermore, just out of curiosity, what are people’s opinions on psychiatry, psychology, and the anti-psychiatry movement? i’ve been doing a lot of thinking and some research on all three as it relates to the development of capitalism and socialism, as well as my own personal experience. to me it seems to be another case in which a marxist framework is necessary to synthesize psychiatry/psychology and anti-psychiatry to come to a fundamentally closer approximation to the truth. topics such as where the line should be drawn between behavioral/biological conditions and the usage/role of psychiatric medication seem to be particularly hot button issues.
I remember it, they were pretty prolific and pretty aggressive poster, and any argument not even propsychiatry but sceptical of antipsychiatry were attacked by them. And the entire topic of antipsychiatry just basically disappeared after that person went away, so it was really an case of how one person can artifically pump some topic in community.
About meritum, despite having some point on topic it was clear that this person bordered on total denial which don’t strike me as fair but maybe i’m biased as someone who got real help from psychiatrist. I just don’t think it’s correct to completely disavow this entire field of medicine over some abuses and mistakes.
