Why Does the Whole Mental Health Industry Care More About Adjusting People to Society?

Question by NONAME: Why does the whole mental health industry care more about adjusting people to society?
than empowering people to rise above society. Sure, there are real mental disorders, like schizophrenia, drug addiction, depression, anxiety, Narcissism and psychopathy. They are not good for the sufferer, and personality disorders can be harmful to others. But I find that we make too many judgments about mental illness to stigmatize others, like psychiatrists are the deciders on what is okay and what is not, based solely on being an “authority”, or they label attributes not very popular, or against some cultural, religious or political ideology as insane. Like Defiant Personality disorder is just propaganda to stigmatize anyone who doesn’t do as they are told by some power hungry narcissist. Or just in general, they just function more on getting people to adapt to society, than to empower their clients to be able to control their lives. Its like a fish out of water, they are never going to have wellbeing in an environment, and its not like they can just cope.

Answer by annabelle p
It’s not really difficult to get an annulment in the Philippines as long as you have valid grounds for filing one and can submit the necessary papers required in the application. The valid grounds include:

1. Lack of parental consent in certain cases. If a party is 18 years or over, but below 21, and the marriage was solemnized without the consent of the parents/guardian. However, the marriage is validated if, upon reaching 21, the spouses freely cohabited with the other and both lived together as husband and wife.

Is All Drug Addiction Bad? What Is Wrong With Being Addicted to Sleeping Pills?

Question by thetigersnameistony: Is all drug addiction bad? What is wrong with being addicted to sleeping pills?
I have been addicted to sleeping pills for a while (probably years.) They are over the counter. I take them only at night to sleep…it’s not like they are disturbing my life in any way.

I actually don’t know if I am addicted because I have not tried to fall asleep without them and once recently I actually fell asleep without them and slept through the night. I just love the sleep I get using them and hate “trying” to fall asleep. I could sit up all night easily without them. With them I just fall into sleep and I love that.

Can Someone Please Tell Me How to Find Addiction Treatment Centers in Rohnert Park, California?

Question by aisha t: Can someone please tell me how to find addiction treatment centers in Rohnert Park, California?
This is for my brother. We’ve only just moved here at the beginning of the month, and he’s gotten himself into bad company already. They influenced him into taking drugs, and now he’s so much different from the way he was before. Sometimes I look at him and I wonder whether he’s the same brother that I used to climb trees with, the brother who used to help me with my homework. Last night, we got into a fight, and though he hurt me, it also made me realize that even though he’s a drug addict now, he’s still my brother, and I would do anything to get him to go back to the way he once was. Please help.
