Mental Illness as a Crisis of Meaning in Modern Society
Рет қаралды 1,481,369
Күн бұрынModern society has seen a massive spike in mental illness. Why could this be? We will be exploring the characteristics of modernity and associate it with the rise of mental illness through the crisis of meaning in modern society. Modernity is characterised by a sense of disorientation. The mass neurosis of modern times is the “unheard cry for meaning”.

schizophrenia is a made up word to control people it doesn't mean anything it's just a black magic buzzword spell/spelling for "shut up your making me have to question my paradigm or you are making me have to admit god is real". schizophrenia only exists in this satanic society, that hates to admit the earth is flat and God is real, leave the society and it's not even a thing. calling someone schizo is the same as those who call others, crazy conspiracy theorists, tin foil hat, or other names because they are either satanists,fallen angel who live among us, or don't want their paradigm shifted to have to admit God is real. they created psychology to explain away anything to do with God, or the spiritual realm because they don't want to admit they are real.

If "fixing" means preparing the patient to have self-awareness (such that they know themselves and can see the difference between societal ills hoist upon them and their own internal demos) and the tools to combat their sicknesses (and clarity to recognize that they will have little to no impact on society in their lifetime) then I see great meaning in the effort. If "fixing" means getting them back to a state before their neurosis hampered them then yes, there is little meaning as you are basically throwing them back into the sick society with no more tools or protection than they had before they were overwhelmed in the first place.

no there is nothing to do with mental illness people are acting insane because they have to either constantly deny reality or admit the horrible truth that live in a feudalism globalist slaving empire, those who deny it will constantly have to make excuses to dismiss the evidence and thus lost the basic ability of thinking critically while those who accept it will be too disgusted with people and this society to become involved on it, the fact is however whether they can mentally withstand it or not the truth remains that they will have to work a wage slaves for the rest of their lives and so will their children and the only way to avoid it is to become a exploiter as well, and then the guilt will drive you crazy, the people who would oppose this must not have any loved ones and not have any material attachment and well as no attachment to their own lives, in other world they are the opposite of everything human impulse and thus are crazy even if a good type of crazy, so ultimately until the pests that crates this feudalistic system are ripped out of power and get what they deserve and its made clear to everyone that anyone who tries the same shall suffer a worse fate not until then shall the world change, but this will take a massive war and thus its not happening any time soon

I was at home at night and sat at my desk watching a documentary of an oil drilling isle. I was warm, had a cozy bed, a full fridge, a loving family, couple of communities, wasn't broke. In the documentary I saw a group of men working under the most miserable conditions imaginable. They were dirty, grimy, freezing half to death, yelling and roaring and drinking and cursing. I was horrified to sense a deep and genuine envy for what they had. My mind immediately retaliated against me with guilt for such a profoundly ungrateful sentiment, but I could not help it. I think it was the yearning for a sense of purpose, of stakes, and a primitive drive for brotherhood that caused my reaction, and I felt that each and everyone of these men had all of that. I knew full well they would likely have envied me just the same.

I believe alienation from labor and social relations being reduced to the point of exchange in commodities rather than the labor that came to a complete product is what prevents meaning from truly being noticeable in people, everyone is reduced to competition or employer and employee rather than community action that can engage the proletariat to develop their own autonomy without the coercion of the flows of capital under capitalism
@Metal0sopher 2 жыл бұрын
That and meaning comes from achievement. Planting seeds, watching them grow and feeding your family is an achievement. You can see the benefits of your labor. But in modern times, when you work for a salary, doing the same thing over and over, so that whomever you work for gets richer, but from year to year you just rinse and repeat, where's the sense of accomplishment? This is the problem.

As someone who suffers from bipolar disorder 2... having gone through (spiritual) psychosis... I know one of the biggest issues for me mentally is the structure of our current society... the obsession of of the material... that you have to be obsessed with the material world in order to be considered successful... this mentality has never aligned with me. And I was on that journey for a while. I am still in the process of finishing my degree for computer science (almost done) but I began to really question why I‘m seeking this degree... what it’s worth... and spiritually it means nothing... It is only valuable to me in the sense that society forced its material value onto me. We are a society obsessed with meaningless material to the point that it clearly harms our mental and spiritual side.

The last 2 years I've been slipping away into deeper psychological problems. The global crisis gave me time to think about my past and future and in weeks I was completely lost. I went from being an occasional weed consumer to a full addict in a matter of months. Right now I am in such a deep depression that I sleep or stay awake for days, plagued by personal trauma and the complete loss of connection with the modern society. I feel like we are collectively are destroying ourselves and our surroundings. That causes a feeling of helplessness and dissociation. Just to put this in perspective. Before all of this I was positive minded. You could throw piles of garbage at me and I'd still find the positive part of the situation. I was motivated, extroverted and I loved the direction my life was going in. Everything is the complete opposite now.

I used to work in a psychiatric emergency. After ALL of the folks I saw coming in that just couldn't cope with not being where they expected to be in society, I decided that I didn't CARE one bit what anybody else thought of me, or what I was supposed to be or achieve by a certain age. I travel, work in different trades, meet people, and DON'T force myself to talk to mean or selfish people anymore. I only aim to please MYSELF now. I am happy with my lot in life (not too bad, not the greatest, just a sane average). Before, I felt tons of pressure from my family and my exes. Now I live FREE of all of that. I'm lucky I live in a country where you can still get educated and have healthcare without going bankrupt though. It frees up the rest of your life. It's actual FREEDOM.

I think a lot of trouble is people want to have a purpose or meaning to their existence. The fact is, a large majority of us will go unnoticed; extras in the film of life. To help myself cope with this and live happy, I accept this reality. I don't resign myself to it, I accept it. Therefore, I focus on things that make me happy. I do the things I want, I spend time with people I want, I immerse myself in my hobbies, and try not to let what people think about me burden me. I'm therefore making a meaningful life for myself. Self happiness to me equals fulfillment. Of course, this stems from growing up as a loaner. It's not for everyone, and everyone has different problems, but this is how I live day by day.

Mental illness has always had a category, historically - distinct, yes, from posession and humoral medicine. Insanity was the symptom, while spiritual or planetary modalities may have been declared causal, the understood prognosis of mental illness has remained much the same. Even at the height of the religious visionaries there existed the observation and primitive understanding of shizophrenia. I suggest you look into what a number of sociologists have coined “scientization”. Our ancestors did not normally participate in bogus fantasies and make believe devoid of logical reasoning, nor is our modern corpus superiorly evolved or ‘beyond history’.

Why? Because it's part of you, so it's self-hating, abusive towards yourself. Is it any wonder I too suffered a lot abd long enough, when that idea was still prevalent in my mind?

We have drifted far out to the sea of culture, and the shores we departed long ago, representing our natural place in the ecosystem, are but a faint memory now. It's truly no wonder why we, despite our material quality of life, suffer so deeply from mental anguish in the modern world. A change of course, and a thorough reconnect with our natural roots, and nature at large, on a global scale, is gravely in need, before we kill the planet and ourselves in our frantic chase of culturally (mis)placed, capitalistic values.

I feel, watching this video, very strange and at the same time understandable. I have schizoid personality disorder and have started noticing since childhood that people annoy me with their nonsensical conversations/achievements/behaviors. When I saw someone achieve something and it should make me smile, or be proud of the person I felt disgust and contempt. It's natural for me to be away from other people and stop listening and seeing this meaningless stream of life. And so for over 26 years, because of this I have often lost my job, I have no higher education, almost no friends and acquaintances. I also have realistic dreams where I see places that don't exist and stay in my head for life. I can remember my dreams twenty years later and even feel good about myself. Thanks for reading my comment! Maybe someone else has the same thing going on in their life, I'd be interested to read other stories.

That is precisely correct. The ancient Greeks even normalized auditory hallucinations as the voices of the gods. Even today, many people with auditory hallucinations report them being neutral or positive experiences. That the sound can be a soothing breeze or music, or “the voices” can say something nice. There’s a wide range of lived experience. But if you lived in Ancient Greece, even if you were hearing angry or violent things, maybe Ares was visiting you.

Just an opinion: Decadence and complacency combined with challenging old traditions or values rapidly eat away at the soul. Depression, misanthropy, and nihilism have been on the increase due to modernity chipping away at what makes humans, well, human. For the record, I'm in my early 20s. I say that because I mostly see this type of thinking in people of my age or closer to their 30s specifically. People are quick to adopt a victim complex because modern society holds victims to the highest degree and puts weakness on a pedestal for whatever reasons. We live in an age where we have more options than any generation of history so it petrifies us because we don't want to make the "wrong" choices in life. People are terrified of failure, being alone, and feeling like their lives don't matter. It's not much surprise that more and more people, in the west specifically, are feeling like this in droves.

So if you actually read this far, you may realize I'm strongly for love and understanding, everyone I can while upholding boundaries, and not some idealistic pacifist detached from earth's realities.

We’ve replaced questions of good and evil with what is healthy. Which is just as arbitrary. For instance, we say, “Healthy teenagers behave such-and-such…” But the very concept of “teenagers” is a 20th-Century concept. No civilization has ever nailed how a “healthy teenager” should behave. Material wealth has given teenagers a separate identity which we in turn label “ healthy” or “unhealthy.” It is the new well-intentioned dogma. The only way I have found to deal with the postmodern dilemma is to set “personal comfort” as the standard. Then my body tells me what I need. It also moves to be more empathic because I can appreciate other people doing what is necessary to self-soothe or self-comfort.

WOW, what a great video. I am in my 60's now, I have always had a purpose, in my teens to play sports, buy a car. In my twenties get my degree, 30's raise my sons, 40's was tough first divorce rattled, me looking back my purpose was shattered, but my sons still needed me, 50's work my sons still needed me. Now I am in my 60's I need to work to pay the bills. I have a larger community, work, church, the gym. Being physically fit has given me purpose, people are impressed how good I look and ask me questions about health, church someone called me Pops, because I have life experiences and provide wisdom, work, he how do you do this or that. I guess what also helps me is my faith. I am grateful, looking back the hardships made me stronger. Sufferings many times is needed. Many of us do not want to suffer. But think about a seed starts in the dark, a diamond is made under pressure, fires often bring new life. Yes we need a purpose and suffering is sometimes good for you. "As I a walk through the valley of shadow of death I will fear no evil". I told my sons, you notice it does not say stop but keep walking, when you go through crap. You walk through it without fear.

Unpopular Opinion: More than ever before in today’s society people have so much time to reflect on themselves and their behaviour seeking professional help to discover what’s been really going on with them which makes me believe that this could have played a role in the skyrocketing number of people suffering from mental illness. I guess we are starting to be more aware of how we process things psychologically. I also think that kids should have a subject in school called ‘ The importance of mental health’ we should educate the masses about this topic.

I really think if people learn some history, mental health problems, are not uncommon. Lots of insane things people used to do, often a lot more violence etc in old times. Bear in mind I'm talking about in the past 10,000 years still. Maybe some tribal people were less deranged but they probably had to like deal with a lot of other stuff too such as survival

I don't think illness has increased drastically I think is just become easier for us to recognize it I feel like a lot of the illnesses we see today has been around for a very long time but now we're able to point it out before there are so many mental illnesses that are high functioning you would have just gone out of the radar or people would have just seen it as your personality but now that we can point them out and see them it makes it easier to understand why some people are just the way they are it's more than just a personality trait.

I don't accept the claim there was a rise in the incidence of mental illness in the 19th cent. Mental illness was seen as devilry akin to possession until the topic was included as an aspect of physical medicine at the beginning of the 1800s. This new science required subjects to study. They did not study sane people, but those with mental abnormalities. Initially, intellectual impairment was included as mental illness, boosting the numbers of people to study. Also required was a lexicon to describe observed behaviours - and that provided a hook on which to hang a diagnosis, as well as a rubric for categorising behaviour.
@redsparks2025 2 жыл бұрын
You are partly right. Prior to the 19th century, people with mental illness were cared for by family members, who quietly attended to their needs in rural areas. These would of gone largely unrecorded. But with the dawn of the Industrial Age, and its accompanying growth of crowded cities, saw the shift in the care of mentally ill people to public psychiatric asylum or small private asylums for the wealthy. In any case as the as world population increased one would expect more recorded cases of mental illness but maybe the "percentage" would only slightly increased. One percent of a hundred is different from one percent of a thousand.

Before language, the ego did not exist, because an ego needs a concept to outline what 'it' or the 'I' is. What am I? That is one of the first thoughts or questions we all have as a baby. That is what the name provides. A concept for the ego to begin to develop and try to 'know thyself' and further distinguish what 'it' is. I am Austin. But who or what is Austin? Is Austin a good or bad person? What makes someone bad or good? What is love? What is real? What is God? The movie inception was about the power that ideas/concepts have over our mind once the ego attaches itself to it. How do you define yourself and your worth? By your career or how much money you make? By your family, children, or the woman you are currently with? Because your concept of yourself is incredibly important as to the life that you will live. If the concept of yourself is that you are worthless, you will lose the desire to live and your life will end up being worth less than if your self concept was that you are worthwhile and valuable. If life attracts what we assume to be true, it is very important to consider what you assume to be true about yourself and of life. Many times, it is better to just tell yourself that you don't know what you are, you don't need to have a self concept to just be. You don't have to define what you are. Change is constant.

We attribute the social and psychological problems of modern society to the fact that that society requires people to live under conditions radically different from those under which the human race evolved and to behave in ways that conflict with the patterns of behavior that the human race developed while living under the earlier conditions.

A feeling of gratitude such as this could go far to improving the psyches and outlooks of many. We forget sometimes that it’s not normal to be happy all the time. Happiness is not a destination, but something that happens from time to time along the way. Without knowing the darkness it’s harder to really feel the light. People need to understand and accept that their life will never be perfect, but with the right attitude you can carve out your own bearable even joyful at times existence.
