Depression is a symptom. So much of psychology revolves around how we do "doctoring." By that I mean, a patient comes to the doctor saying this is what's bothering me today, help me feel better. Symptoms lead to diagnosis which leads to treatment recommendations.
This works well for some conditions, especially for acute conditions. If you have an infection, we see the infection, identify the organism, and give you anti-infectives to treat it. Over the years, we've established a pretty wide range of things we can identify as the root cause and treat like this quite successfully.
But then we get to the brain. The brain is an enigma, though few ever want to admit it. We don't understand how it works at all, despite all of our research and all of the brilliant scientists and doctors who've studied it. We don't know what causes consciousness. We barely understand sleep. And mood is still a great mystery.
We thought we had a handle on it when we tried increasing serotonin and found that it worked. No, not immediately, but give it 4-6 weeks and enough serotonin and we even out mood. We turn you into a zombie, but we stop the depression. See the process? We give a drug, or the patient takes it himself (this is the history of schizophrenia, too, btw), doctors noticed that some of the symptoms seem to resolve. Figure out what the drug is changing in the brain, and develop better drugs to boost neurotransmitter X and test those as a potential treatment. This is how psychiatry developed, and largely, still today, it still does operate this way. Then, 20 years later, we look back on the research and we find that our "solution" doesn't actually correlate nearly as well as we thought it should, and we have to go back to square one in trying to understand what exactly is the underlying cause of the problem. We just don't understand the brain. We make a lot of highly educated guesses.
The point is that chemical imbalances don't explain psychology nearly as well as we think, whether caused naturally or by Pharma. And we need to stop pretending to understand that which we don't.
We do know what consciousness is and where it lives, it's in a hydrophobic pocket in our microtubules which are full of hydrocarbons organized in a quantum superposition state.
This is yet another rabbit hole, a very deep one leading to God.
"The point is that chemical imbalances don't explain psychology nearly as well as we think, whether caused naturally or by Pharma. And we need to stop pretending to understand that which we don't."
"Meh", Who said anything about psychology? I certainly didn't. You brought this up. All I said was --"Psychotropic drugs are the causal reason for chemical imbalances." The connection to mass shootings is remarkable. It is also censored.
I have posted several times over the years on this subject. Mass shootings are almost exclusively linked to psychotropic drugs. Take a look at the research I've put together regarding the listing of mass shootings and the psychotropic drugs each killer was on. The last updates on this is from 2018. However, I have been posting on this subject for well over a decade. On 04-15-23 I posted the mass shooting listing here.
In regards to the field of psychology, to which you brought up, I absolutely agree with you. In fact I have posted repeatedly on this subject for over 7 years now. On 03-03-22, I commented on mental diseases and the psychiatry profession being a complete fraud. Also, I commented on this on 05-15-22 and on 05-29-22. Did you know there are no definitive laboratory tests for any so-called mental disorders? No biological markers, saliva tests, brain scans, genetic assays, nothing. All so-called mental disorders are concocted, named, labeled, described, and categorized by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors. During the 'COVID' P[L]andemic and on 06-17-22, I connected the science fraud in psychiatry spreading to the medical field using SADS and SIDS as the example. I commented here saying--
"It's official, medicine is now run by a by a committee of 'experts' who concoct, name, label, describe, and categorize disease.
No longer are there no definitive laboratory tests for so-called syndromes or disorders.. No biological markers, saliva tests, chest x-rays, genetic assays, nothing. It started with SIDS. The concocted 'syndrome' as a result of vaxxxine toxicity.
It use to be that medical science, and disease-research in particular, rested on the notion that you can make a diagnosis backed up by lab tests. Not anymore.
If you can’t produce lab tests, you’re spinning fantasies. If a test were not the standard of proof, we wouldn’t have science at all, and that would mean our whole profession rests on nothing—and that is unthinkable, so therefore a test doesn’t matter.”
That logic is no logic at all. That science is no science at all. So, what is it then?
Medicine now serves its master; the government. Dr. Allen Frances who was perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the time…” said:
“Diagnosis is part of the magic…you know those medieval maps? In the places where they didn’t know what was going on, they wrote ‘Dragons live here’…we have a dragon’s world here. But you wouldn’t want to be without the map.”
Dragons! We're talking about Peter, Paul, and Mary's "Puff The Magic Dragon"!
Anybody that puffs the dragon (today's medicine) is out of their minds. The whole profession is now bullshit that serves fascist governments and its accomplice, the pharmaceutical industry! Look out. That's precisely where we are now.
Another posting I made ties the use of Psychiatry with the war on a virus. The war on 'COVID-19' is really an extension to the former official 'declaration of war' on terrorism' that President George Bush publicly announced shortly after 9-11 in 2001. This was used to enact the police state in America. The fiction of terrorists being everywhere is no different than the SARs-CoV2 virus. Instead of metal detectors and backscatter X-ray machines, we are forced to submit to PCR tests in order to travel and work. Do you see the expansion of the police state here? Just as America's 'war on terror' has been an irrational exaggeration, the war on COVID-19 is the same where we are now forced to submit to invasive medical testing is now endlessly enforced. The coerced vax☠xination of the public is still ongoing.
What specifically constitutes 'terrorism'? Who is specifically the enemy?
Terrorism is not ever really defined. It can be anywhere, anyone, at anytime. The root word for 'terrorism' is 'terror' and is defined when a person or people feels "intense, sharp, overmastering fear", whether real or not. In other words, it is a psychological state of mind. It is impossible to declare war on an psychological state of mind. Yet, this is precisely what has occurred. The word terrorist is constantly evolving and now can mean a person or thing that is especially annoying or unpleasant to an opposing party.
The 'war on terrorism' is actually a PsyOp used on the American people. I believe this has it's origins in the divorce industry used by lawyers to weaponize parental custody battles. Yes, you heard me right. As incredible as this sounds, there is a huge payoff for lawyers and anyone involved in this industry. As it so often turns out, following the money leads us to the source. More can be read here.
Psychology is very good at altering the definitions of words and phrases, especially if they can invent a new illness they can treat with the usual methods of psychology.
Meh, this is a bit of an overstatement.

They will never change.
