Whilst many cases can be alleviated by drugs, rarely do they actually cure the situation, and indeed their side effects can be devastating in their disruption of the social life of the patient. There was a going to be a massive court case over the use of tranquillisers, but this was subverted by 'legal' means and government withdrawal of funds from Tranx and possibly other organisations that could have provided much evidence in a court case of the devastating and long term effects of tranquillisers on people. There are several writers who make the controversial claim that those who are classed as mentally ill are not ill in any way similar to true medical cases of illness where the cause can be traced to an organic or chemical imperfection. They strongly insist that it is quite wrong to use this misleading word from the medical profession where organic problems can be diagnosed and apply it in a non-organic situation. This is a worthless and misleading definition.
Mental illness is a myth.
Although most psychiatrists are not against liberal religious beliefs, the whole basis of all the main methods given above are devoid of any reference to the existence and claims of God. These systems are totally against any acceptance that man is basically sinful and needs to be restored to a relationship with his Maker. They are in fact against such an attitude. Their occurrence is associated with profound concern with good and evil, concern which, almost always, is a screen for and displacement of guilt induced by sexual preoccupation. This is Reality Therapy, as proposed and practiced by Mowrer, Glasser, Harrington and now many others.
