Tweet Traditional psychiatry and psychology relates to psychosis as a "disease."More than a century has passed and billions of research dollars have been spent to establish the "disease" model of psychosis, without success.

Some studies speculate on the cause, but it is generally unknown. Psychosis is a human process,similar to another familiar human process, logical thinking. Logical thinking has an effect on the human brain, as does psychosis. There is no qualitative difference. Psychosis is a process of distantiation from what society, or those who believe they are correct in their perceptions, define as "normal." Society has regressed to a system of greed, deceit, disingenuousness, and distantiation. Individuals are subtly taught to ignore abuse and look the other way, especially in institutions. One need look no further than the recent financial collapse, bank rescues and failures to see a massive distantiation from what is seen as "normal" in civilization, with millions of people acting on delusions or false beliefs about the financial markets. In essence, the financial "wizards" have done what those who have been diagnosed as "mentally ill" are often accused of and incarcerated in psychiatric hospitals for doing. Substantial evidence supports that a diagnosis of "mental illness" is actually a diagnosis of a human reaction to a toxic social environment, not necessarily some internal "dysfunction." There have been reports that the professional, in numerous cases, unconsciously identifies the person being diagnosed as having some manifestation of their own (the professional's) inner, unrecognized behavior or quality they (the professional) cannot accept and/or denies in themselves.

Yet, this is what occurs in most every encounter with "mental health" professionals or "mental health" treatment teams, with few exceptions. A person, judged as "psychotic," is abused by the so-called "mental health" professions, forced to take pharmaceuticals (under a judges order), some with devastating health effects. Or, forcefully (under a judges order) subjected to electric shock treatments destructive to their central nervous systems.

This misplaced logic becomes clear when one develops a relationship with and talks with folks who have been judged as psychotic.
