Madness "Disease or ideological bias?"

I think "crazy" today is more a matter of point of view of society than of a "disease" that is, all those people considered "hostile to traditional forms of conduct are labeled as" crazy "or are treated as such .

To better explain my opinion, I would transcribe some excerpts from the book New Consciousness (Luis Carlos Maciel, Eldorado, 2) 8 pp. 1973) in which the subject is clothed in an article entitled. Very Crazy. Bicho: "The celebrated poem Howl of Allen Ginsberg, considered in the 50's a kind of manifesto of the beat generation, is in his last a wholesome greeting to the poet Carl Solomon, who was admitted to the Hospice of Rockland.'s Experience mental illness is certainly a radical experiment, a borderline case that has not been probed as it should. In his poem, Ginsberg traces the tragic trajectory of his generation, the anxiety drug, and of these the hospice. Solomon's your typical character , hero of modern history. "

According to Luis Carlos Maciel, the most affected by mental illness are all those people who dare to defy the rules of establishment, and this, in turn, attempts to silence him through "psychiatric treatment", which are marked by the most violent of our time. "It is a shame" - LCM writes - "the personal testimonies on the case do not appear frequently. It's annoying for anyone to confess that ever walked a little crazy or was treated as such. Morality down, more or less definitive , who was admitted to a hospice lost forever the way human. And those who escaped the clutches of the disease should try to get them back way of the silence. Again, here, the inhumanity of the precepts and prejudices avoids shed light on some most significant aspects of human existence. In so forbidden subject, few had the courage to give his testimony. "

This lack of evidence is caused by the terror acquired by the patient or former patient during his hospitalization, the shock, the insulin and eat everything else, and he, of course afraid to return to that hell, he refuses to make any statement respect.


LCM has transcribed the testimony of Solomon, who underwent a treatment of 50 insulin comas and tells everyone in detail: "Early to eat confirms all the fears of the patient" - writes Solomon. "What started as a drugged sleep becomes organically into one of the millions of universes psychophysical that must go through before being agreed by the dose of glucose. The coma destroys the memory of the patient while fattening up glucose deformation" .

Solomon talks about his experience in more detail in your document "Report from the Asylum is clearly important, where they analyze the relationship between the madman and society, not the psychiatric point of view, but from the perspective of the patient.

Psychiatry lists the various types of mental illness, making distinctions and traps are often in their own settings in time to make a concrete diagnosis. The fact is that the electric shock is used for all of them as a means of healing. Psychiatrists say that the shock cure, but do not know that heals.

"I saw clearly" - Seymour Krim writes - "that insanity and psychosis may not be the most respected and settings that have an effect, but are only used by some individuals who hold social power, to address ways to include people who are strange, threatening and obscure for them. " Krim also spent some time in hospital. Writer of the beat generation, had a violent episode of depression. Attempted suicide by taking an overdose of barbiturates. Found still alive, was taken to a hospital where he was saved. Still half intoxicated, was treated in hospital for a mental hospital. He stayed there four months, fighting and complaining like everyone else their right "to the insecurity of freedom."

When released, he began by writing an essay: The Insanity Beat. "More radical than Solomon - LCM writes -" fully endorsing the findings of Artaud, Krim will exit saying that insanity, today it is a matter of definition, not fact. The word crazy, he says, can only be used literally, had nothing to do with science, insanity is a legal concept and anachronistic as rigid as a piece of Ibsen, and even the modern antiseptic term psychosis seems to him so suspect of prejudice ideology that must be maintained "at a distance of one arm, like a dead rat."

Luis Carlos Maciel received many letters from psychiatrists, letters full of scientific terms, and other things. Of course these psychiatrists and psychologists do not understand the meaning of his articles, which sees the problem from the point of view much more social than scientific.

Even Luis Carlos Maciel writes, "I just received two types of cards: those of psychiatrists and psychologists, that is," subject-matter experts, and former patients from nursing homes, ie people who have suffered the "matter" in the flesh. The letters reveal something of human nature. All the psychiatrists who wrote my articles destroyed, all his former patients sent me words of sympathy and, above all, gratitude ... Some of his letters (psychiatrists and psychologists) are written as a desperate defense of the profession who, judging by them. would have been mocked for my articles. "
