The separation of mind and body is an extreme falsehood that has led to the separation of medicine and psychiatry as a practice in humanity when this is a false separation. Can your so-called mind or brain be cut off from your body and both function no we are whole beings.

In Western Society the mind-body problem emerged as early as the Greeks but was devastatingly and erroneously split by Cartesian duality. When Renee Descartes determined that the Mind had to exist as separate from the physical being he made a devastating and egregious error.

There is a book called Descartes error in which this issue is examined from a philosophical standpoint. The idea of mind is a theory it is not a fact and yet we have an entire industry and concept of the separation of mine from body which gave rise to the concept of Mental Health

Psychiatry and psychology, mental health, these Concepts and separatism have given rise to stigma that has harmed more people than possibly hitler, stalin, mal, Pol Pot combined. Not only that it separates our ability to really look at causative factors in all human conditions.

Many people coming to this world already with congenital defects and other issues. From birth until the age of now nearly 60 I have had massive major medical disease resulting in profound disability not from so-called Mental Illness but medical issues. I still found life and joy.

Of 47 clinical conditions considered disabling from 20% to 100%, the vast majority are to find as medical not psychiatric. I was never given psychiatric meds for psychiatric problems and I myself sought the help I thought was necessary and right as expressed by the social world.

As a young woman I bought the entire idea that doctors were there to help us. And many Healthcare professionals do go in to the field because they want to help. But medicine Psychiatry and Healthcare tend not to be scientific. That would require real testing of human beings.

An old adage in Psychiatry is no psychiatrists ever touch their patient. Many psychiatrists thought this was funny and gave them a certain mystical power because suddenly they could diagnose without ever doing any testing whatsoever on the actual patient.

Have you ever wondered why if you go into your doctor for high blood sugar you get a blood test that can determine this but if you go to your psychiatrist for depression you don't get any tests at all. Why is this? And if depression is low serotonin why has no one tested levels?
