And while it's true that a very small number of patients who suffer from mental health disorders are later shown after an autopsy to have some form of brain damage, the vast majority of psychiatric patients have no biological marker of their disorder whatsoever.
The psychiatric industry simply kept growing despite the fact that none of their promises actually panned out.
And at any rate, as Sass would argue, if a mental illness is indeed the result of a physical disorder of the brain, which it would stand to reason is the case with something like schizophrenia, then it is a neurological disease, not a mental illness.
Neurological diseases are obviously real.
You can see them in brain scans.
Mental illness as a category exists to diagnose diseases that cannot be found in the physical brain.
They are not diseases of the physical brain, but of the mind.
And this distinction is extremely important, but it's something that most people don't think about at all, including most of the doctors who hand out psychiatric drugs like PEZ dispensers.
Meanwhile, anyone who criticized the industry, like Soss,
was cast aside.
New York tried to revoke his teaching license.
They wrote him out of every psychiatric textbook.
The profession tried to pretend he never existed because they knew he had a point.
And that's why in the past four or five decades, he's been almost entirely vindicated, at least on some of the major points.
There are certain bills people just accept without ever questioning them.
Wireless is one of them.
You look at the number, you know it's too high, and then you keep paying it anyway.
$70 a month, $80, sometimes more.
Pure Talk fixes that problem immediately.
They now offer unlimited high-speed data for $34.99 a month.
