Schizophrenia

“There is no such "condition" as "schizophrenia," but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.”

“Psychiatrists look for twisted molecules and defective genes as the causes of schizophrenia, because schizophrenia is the name of a disease. If Christianity or Communism were called diseases, would they then look for the chemical and genetic “causes” of these “conditions”?”

“People with schizophrenia in developing countries appear to fare better over time than those living in industrialized nations.”
