Psychiatry damages society and individuals
The mental health system causes harm to both individuals and society as a whole.
Psychiatric sick leave:
From employees who take a few months off with "stress leave" to soldiers
who fake PTSD, the cost is enormous! There are a large amount of mental
patients presently being treated, at great public expense, who fake their
disease because they want to be excused from the normal demands of life and
conduct in exchange for pampering, pity and welfare. These people have
calculated the upside of being labeled a mental patient, with the
drawbacks. Being considered mentally ill is like a "get out of working
again" Community Chest card from the game monopoly! It brings about a
guaranteed income for life! It's the lottery number that never fails to win
you "Cash for life". Employers are also being strapped with onerous labour
laws that cost everyone money! When an employee with "a lot of bad stuff
happening at home" goes to the doctor and requests a letter for "stress
leave", they are actually invoking "mental health labour laws". The state
makes it illegal to fire the faking employee that wants a few months off.
Not only must the employer find and train a temporary replacement, they
must keep the position for whenever the sick person suddenly gets better
and wants their job back! Employers are not stupid and will likely wait 6
months, then fire the employee over something else. The employee complains
that they got fired for a series of silly little reasons... when in fact
they were slated for the chopping block the day they started their "sick
leave vacation".
