I had to start taking SSRIs to cope with life. And when I lost my job and couldn’t afford that medication anymore I realized the job itself was causing my depression.

Justin Serps :

A critical analysis of modern psychology requires far more nuance than a simple blanket dismissal. While it is entirely fair to critique how the mental health industry can be co-opted to uphold capitalist structures and keep people productive, reducing the entire field to this single function is a major error. Countless providers perform vital, transformative work every day. They are actively helping patients heal from severe trauma and abuse, guiding them toward genuine self-actualization. Dismissing an entire profession simply because it must operate within a flawed economic framework is incredibly short-sighted. It ignores the real, tangible benefits that therapy brings to individuals on a local level. Unfortunately, throwing away a complex and helpful institution based solely on its systemic flaws is a widespread but deeply lazy analytical habit. People need to stop making absolute statements. A good majority of things have grey areas.

Funny, I studied psychology out of interest for a few years as I considered graduating it eventually and changing my career. This is exactly the conclusion I came to. I myself used a therapist for 2 years in my life and it all eventually clicked in placed, because none of it tried to help me, it wanted to make me less annoying for the society. It’s all about conformity. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a perfect example of it. It’s just gaslighting people into doubting yourself and choosing a script to act to.

Hey you know what is the antidote to conforming? Start saying that shit outloud; to everyone; whenever. Become a menace (not the same as being a bully). Be fully yourself. Start wearing that shit. Get those tattoos and piercings. Take those chances. Put all of your eggs in the basket of your own destiny for a better future; if you don't you will be doomed anyway. If you've been thinking about it this is your sign. Take the chance, take the leap; if you're not gonna be yourself- who is?

Also to reduce suffering. But the field of Psychology is way bigger than therapy.

Amon_Right :

Yes this is why you don't push trends in it & accept delusional behavior.

Kris DeBoy :

Social psychology is the most influential effect on human behavior. Remember that when you judge anyone suffering from mental health struggles.

The best psychology is to connect with Mother Earth

anonymous_stoic89 :

Psychologist here: some of psychologists for sure, but a large part of modern psychotherapy (ACT) is focused on getting the client in touch with and living with THEIR own unique values, which goes directly against getting them adjusted to society. Such a simplification is misguided and likely a way to cope with the fear of working on oneself and rather blaming external factors for one’s fate.

ℒ𝓊𝒸𝒾𝓁ℯ :

just got my bachelors degree there are severe flaws in my psychology that I slowly learned - it lowkey made me feel resentment toward the field

Ryan Booth :

Yeah. There isn’t an other option that I’ve found :(

How interesting. We as humans arent supposed to live an industrial life, to be cogs in a machine. Nothing wrong with cogs or machines. But we as humans are more than that.
