Thank-you Dr Schaler! Sterling job I have just read a transcript of a debate on 'Is Depression a Disease?'. Sterling work. Many people bemoan the loss of individual liberty in modern society. Not always easy to see just who is an enemy of liberty. That's why I love what Dr Szasz said about liberty and responsibility being two sides of the same coin - undermine one and you automatically undermine the other. Psychiatry with its DSM is the tool of the time for undermining responsibility and self help. Great article.

As a former psychiatric survivor that did'nt and never will accept the word mental illness. Who could see through these Docters and tolerated; The Myth of Mental Illness is a very informative and insightful book. My true identity, worth, value, memory, wholeness, mistakes never did and never will come from these Docters. As Szasz writes "one of the most important things for man to achieve is to have a strong and healthy body." With a toxic environment inwhich we live with the plastic, alumimun can drinks, the air in our homes, the prescription drugs and some supplements, harsh chemicals and so forth, its common sense to me to detox my body so often and what I put in my mouth as food and drink. This is a discipline that I have not perfected on but, currently strive for and which I consider good health. Another good read is "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Dr. Joseph Murphy. And yet another is "The Power of Premonitions" by Larry Dossey,M.D. Another subjective, controversial topic probably for many but one that as the books states that Docters need to realize the validity of these events and in obtaining the proof.
