1/ good thread to go off on a tangent (a very wide tangent): there is always a tension between adjusting things to tweak the marginal incentives, and adjusting things in a way that hammers people well out of the mainstream that's cryptic; let me expand >>> https://twitter.com/gaitanalyst/status/1387023943496765441 …

My problem with psychiatric meds is the deliberate deception encouraged by the FDA. They are not "medicine" in the usual sense. They do not "correct a chemical imbalance in the brain." There is NO physical test for schizophrenia, ADHD, or other commonly medicated disorders.

the idea that "there's no physical test, therefore it's not a real problem" is a nonsense PoV

It's a real problem, but it's not a medical problem. Psychiatrists have been claiming for decades that schizophrenia, ADHD, and other disorders have a physical cause, but they've never produced any evidence.

> It's a real problem, but it's not a medical problem. so nothing is a medical problem if there's not a chemical test for it ergo cancer EXISTED in the 19th century, but it wasn't a MEDICAL problem

Cancer is a physical abnormality and it was known to the ancient Greeks. Mental disorders are in a different category. They sometimes have a physical cause, but this is not always the case. Assuming a physical cause without evidence is bad science.

That is because before the 1750s -1800s, mental illness rarely survived to adulthood and if it did and was NOT "in" someone with "power" (ie King George), they were taken out quickly by others, or their own doing.
