In this video, I, Dr Tim Carey, challenge the very premise behind mental health diagnoses and treatments, highlighting the absence of a clear, universally accepted definition of what normal should look like. I discuss the paradox surrounding treatments like fluoxetine and ECT, which seem to either disrupt or restore brain functions, but without a foundational understanding of typical human functioning to guide us. • I propose that Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) could offer a new way of looking at normality, seeing it as a process of control. Ultimately, I argue that before we address what’s considered abnormal, our priority should be to develop a stronger understanding of normal human behavior and functioning. • • 1) Dr. Cary challenges the mental health field to define normal human functioning before diagnosing or treating disorders, emphasizing the need for a clear baseline. • 2) He critiques treatments like fluoxetine and ECT, pointing out their contradictions and the lack of a shared understanding of normal brain processes. • 3) If you're interested in exploring these thought-provoking ideas further, be sure to subscribe to the channel and visit our website for more in-depth insights and resources on mental health. • • Join our Method of Level (MOL) Control Psychotherapy Course👇: https://drtimcarey.com/courses/ • 📧 Contact us: [email protected] • 🌐 Our Website: https://drtimcarey.com/ • 📸 Instagram: / drtimcarey • 👨💻 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@drtimcarey • 👍 Facebook: / dr.timothy.carey • 📌 Pinterest: / _pins • 💼 LinkedIn: / timothy-carey-phd-clinpsych-msc-stats-faps... • • #timcarey #timothycarey #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthpodcast #mentalhealthandexercise #psychotherapy #psychotherapytechniques #psychotherapycrashcourse #psychotherapyandbehaviortherapy #behaviortherapy
