When you label someone, you chop up to 10 years more of their life.
You know, it's like it's adding on.
They've shown studies of people with a mental health diagnosis have chopped up to 20 years of their lifespan.
People on psychotropic drugs because of all the complications and the changes in the brain and the body.
chopping up to 25 years of their life.
There's such a contradiction because they're saying, hey, there's this adverse circumstance, grief of loss of people, uncertainty, medical and not knowing if you're going to live or die and how long is this isolation going to go on and economic impact and whatever, the whole lot.
that's trauma and they're saying that when they're saying but this is the way to treat it.
Let's label it, let's diagnose it, let's medicate it.
So we've got to shift our narrative completely and we've got to stop saying that mental illness is on the rise and that there's one in four people on antidepressants who are depressed.
A hundred percent of people are depressed and anxious.
A hundred percent of people in the world at some point in their life
have and will be anxious and depressed and in grief and sadness and terror and despair and one of the others.
A large percentage of the population, and I'm not sure the exact percentage because no one's really done this kind of research, but estimates it's probably 30, 40 percent of people will have extreme trauma from abuse, war trauma, that kind of stuff, where they'll go down the continuum to sort of the minus 9, 10, 8, 9, 10, if you look at a continuum of 0 to 10 percent.
0 to minus 10, and have things like psychotic breaks and hearing voices and extreme states of distress, mental distress, which are still not diseases.
They are simply in that traumatic situation, you're having a traumatic response.
Think of someone who's a war vet.
I just interviewed a Navy SEAL the other day who was
trained snipers.
And I mean, the things that he had to do and that his teams had to do, they come back and try and... We all know the problem of trying to reconcile back into civilian life after you've gone through... Very challenging, yeah.
I mean, this is what they're experiencing all day long, stuff that's completely against survival, completely against our human nature.
