Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

title. i took a few years off of all social media, including lemmygrad, but i could have sworn there was such a community back when i frequented lemmygrad before the break. i found one major post on the topic from 3 years ago and several comments that lead to errors, which i assume is because the posts they were under were deleted or removed. what exactly is the history there? if the community was banned or removed what was the reasoning?

furthermore, just out of curiosity, what are people's opinions on psychiatry, psychology, and the anti-psychiatry movement? i've been doing a lot of thinking and some research on all three as it relates to the development of capitalism and socialism, as well as my own personal experience. to me it seems to be another case in which a marxist framework is necessary to synthesize psychiatry/psychology and anti-psychiatry to come to a fundamentally closer approximation to the truth. topics such as where the line should be drawn between behavioral/biological conditions and the usage/role of psychiatric medication seem to be particularly hot button issues.

There are many many cases of people who have faced abuse by the psychiatric system. If you have a disorder that is deemed ‘bad enough’ like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or have a habit of self harming psychiatrists will no longer see you as a human being with a right to choose what happens to your body. This is why these people and their loved ones become anti-psychiatry.
