Emil Kraepelin's Failure In The Psychiatric Industry

Over the years, the psychiatric industry has taken the problems that the average person faces and has renamed them as mental disorders. They have labeled everything from depression to a fear of spiders as a flaw with an individual’s brain, yet it is backed up with no scientific evidence at all. All diagnoses are purely theoretical; they are not based on any scientific measurements. Although the industry is proven to be inconsistent and untruthful, it continues to grow yearly and is blindly relied upon by millions of people, letting psychiatrist’s diagnoses drastically affect their lives. In the 19th century, a man named Emil Kraepelin, also known as the father of psychiatric classification, experimented with the differences and similarities
They figured, the more aspects of life they could label as unnatural, the more money they would receive from the government. They began to add more and more to the DSM, so psychiatrists would have more people to treat, and more money to make. They added “disorders” like: thumb sucking, holding your breath, homosexuality, and weight gain, none of which are legitimate---at all. In 1968, the DSM-II came out with many more disorders, but still was not backed up with any clinical testing, which means it failed to prove that any of these illnesses were actually worth being documented and/or
The psychiatric industry wanted to be taken more seriously, as if it were a legitimate medical practice. So, every illness had been carefully redefined as a medical condition. The psychiatrists constructing the DSM-III had completely thrown out all Freudian psychology and had then claimed that everything in the new DSM was purely “biological”. Though that was far from true. The only thing that had changed was the way the DSM looked and how many disorders were listed. The number of disorders in the DSM had shot up to 259. In spite of the fact that nothing of the practice had changed, they still needed to give off the impression that it did change. So, psychiatrists came up with the term “chemical imbalance”. The chemical imbalance theory was invented in 1965 and Dr. Joseph Schildkraut had hypothesized that because psychiatric medication changes the chemicals in your brain, they have been prescribed in order to re-balance the part of your brain that had cause the mental disorder. What Schildkraut had said actually makes a lot less sense than it seems. It is pretty much the equivalent of getting an upset stomach because you have been deprived of tums. This theory had given the psychiatric industry an external ambience of technological legitimacy. In reality, there is absolutely no way to test a “chemical imbalance” and factually, the entire thing is a myth. Psychiatrists have admittedly said that their own evidence has disproven this theory, yet
