Not to be anti-psych on main but people act like the psychiatry industry is sooooooooo perfect and helpful and great nowadays as if they didn’t drill holes into people’s brains and literally torture marginalized people with restraints and isolation and electric shocks less than a century ago. The horrors of lobotomies & insane asylums are still very recent and forced hospitalization & forced treatment still traumatize people every goddamn day

#''go to therapy you FREAK'' is an ableist card to play in an argument & I won’t shut up about that <3 #« well theyre not literally lobotomizing ret— I mean people anymore so surely theres no deep underlying issues with the system as a whole »#It’s a capitalistic industry built on ableism that runs on ableism. You can’t separate it from ableism; it is the very root of ableism #And I mean. C’mon. We live in a for-profit society. Do you really think they intend on curing or fixing anybody?#If you’re cured or fixed then you won’t give them anymore money for them to tell you what’s wrong with you!!#Maybe there are Some Good Ones but on the whole the industry cares more about draining your bank account than helping you #And if they do help you 90% of the time it’s just so you can be a more functional cog in the machine of capitalism
