<\/p>\nWe have all heard the endless sarcastic jokes and sayings:<\/p>\n
“What, me worry?”
\n“Whatever you say!”
\n“Give it to someone who cares!”
\n“Like I care!”
\n“Do I look like I care?”
\n“Like I give a care!”
\nor, in a text or tweet, “LIC”<\/p>\n
It even has its own “glitter graphic” (yes, I know this is really distracting and offensive; like I care!)
\n<\/p>\n
What does it all mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n The criminal exhibits this “nothing matters” attitude as a cover-up for having committed crimes.<\/p>\n It all comes down to a consideration called “No Responsibility.”<\/p>\n The opposite of having no responsibility for something is caring for it.<\/p>\n So the sarcasm “Like I Care!” just means “I have no responsibility for this!”<\/p>\n How does it relate to psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1963 Thomas Szasz wrote, in Law, Liberty and Psychiatry<\/em>, “Although we may not know it, we have, in our day, witnessed the birth of the Therapeutic State. This is perhaps the major implication of psychiatry as an institution of social control.” In other words, you are considered to be under the care of psychiatry and the State, unless you actively do something about that.<\/p>\n In 1946, Canadian psychiatrist G. Brock Chisholm, in a speech to the World Federation of Mental Health, said, “If the race is to be freed of its crippling burden of good and evil it must be psychiatrists who take the original responsibility.”<\/p>\n Ever since, psychiatry has attempted to remove individual responsibility from everyone, claiming that psychiatrists are the only ones who can be responsible for one’s mental health; and oh, by the way, forget right and wrong, since psychiatrists know best. The Bill of Rights left off one right we all should have, the right to our own sanity. If you cede the right to your own sanity to psychiatry, as they would have it, what responsibility do you have left for your own mental health?<\/p>\n How many times have you,\u00c2\u00a0a family member, or a co-worker, said “LIC!” The apathy of “No Responsibility” has seeped into society, just as Chisholm predicted.<\/p>\n What are you going to do about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u00c2\u00a0care that you do something about it.\u00c2\u00a0We care that you, your family, your associates and co-workers, do something about it. Because\u00c2\u00a0we don’t want a bunch of people around\u00c2\u00a0us who don’t care when the men in white coats come for us. Think they won’t come for you if you don’t take your meds? Think again!<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Maryanne Godboldo found out.<\/p>\n Detroit mother Maryanne Godboldo experienced first hand the effects of the Therapeutic State when she chose to take her daughter off an antipsychotic drug. Maryanne had reluctantly agreed to administer this drug to her daughter, Ariana, under the condition she could take her off of it \u00e2\u20ac\u201d at her own discretion. Once Maryanne witnessed the drug\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s harmful effects, she worked with a physician to wean her daughter off the drug and pursue non-drug solutions. This decision however, did not sit well with the psychiatrists advising Child Protective Services. They responded to Maryanne\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s refusal to drug her daughter with the full force of the Therapeutic State.<\/p>\n Take a lesson. Fight back<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have all heard the endless sarcastic jokes and sayings: “What, me worry?” “Whatever you say!” “Give it to someone who cares!” “Like I care!” “Do I look like I care?” “Like I give a care!” or, in a text … Continue reading
