As always, we expose the opinions of Rappoport because they are interesting, whether or not they agree with them. Ultimately, it should be the reader who applies his critical judgment to it and balances the possible excesses in Rappoport's points of view, in order to decide how much real warning he can have in his words.
Pay close attention to this. It is the future that is approaching like a gale.
First of all, let's talk about the background. For years, I have gathered conclusive evidence that the psychiatric diagnosis of mental disorders is a fraud. It's pseudoscience. There are no definitive laboratory tests. There is no blood test in the diagnoses, neither saliva, hair, brain, nor genetic tests.
Instead, committees of psychiatrists meet and discuss how to group various arbitrary behaviors, finally grouping and labeling them with names relating to "mental disorders."
(That is, they come together to decide how to group certain behavioral disorders by grouping them into defining labels that they themselves invent to classify them)
But the intransigents insist that one of the oldest disorders, schizophrenia, is the exception. That is solid. That is not pseudoscience. That is the "gold standard ".
Incorrect.
As fiercebiotech.com says :
"... Diagnosing schizophrenia is based on subjective methods ... There is no single test for schizophrenia, so diagnosis usually involves observing symptoms and ruling out other potential causes for them ..."
"And while scientists have observed differences in the brain scans of healthy people and people with schizophrenia ... are not currently used to diagnose neurological disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)."
That is, they are neither precise nor definitive.
As usual. The committees of psychiatrists "observe the symptoms" (behaviors) and invent rules for the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
As usual, the public is the last to know.
Now, there is a new project underway that aims to change these non-objective diagnoses, using magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.
IBM and the University of Alberta are working on it, as we are reminded at Fiercebiotech:
"The team used machine learning to create a model that identifies connection-based schizophrenia in the brain, IBM said. Magnetic resonance imaging data were taken from different sites, using different machines, but the algorithm could differentiate between patients with and without schizophrenia, 74% of the time. "
This was through a small pilot study with 95 volunteers. Typically, these projects are extinguished when larger studies are done, because the results are not specific enough.
That is why NO test based on brain scans, for NO supposed mental disorder, is labeled as definitive proof in the psychiatric Bible, the DSM, Diagnostic and Statistics Manual.
However, computer boys and medical professionals are still trying to get it and this is where the Massive Surveillance State comes on the scene in a very ugly way.
According to Fiercebiotech:
"Mindstrong Health, co-founded by former head of the National Institute of Mental Health, Tom Insel, is working on technology that analyzes smartphone data to determine a person's mental state. The company's technology collects information about which words are used, or a person's location when using certain applications, for example, and converts them into objective measures of brain function. Recently, the company raised $ 14 million ... "
"Meanwhile, Boston-based Akili Interactive and Pfizer reported last year's data showing that a video game-based diagnostic test could distinguish between people with and without cerebral amyloidosis, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. And Sonde Health of PureTech is working on the analysis of "vocal biomarkers", or changes in the non-linguistic characteristics of a person's voice, to indicate changes in health. "
We can already see that, where the subject is going: to spy on the whole world through their cell phones and computers, in order to diagnose them with any mental disorder.
The State of Surveillance receives a new justification, and the psychiatric establishment comes to play in the Big Brother's game, "to protect us all" from people with mental illnesses.
This investigation was initiated in the highest gears of power, when the Obama-led Brain Mapping Project was launched, which was announced following the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook School.
According to Obama at the time, "the Project is necessary, to help prevent such future tragedies."
But no, in fact, the Project is necessary to expand the surveillance of the population, for the sake of control.
The psychiatric diagnosis, and the toxic drug addiction (medication) that always derives from him, is a form of control.
"Well, we have a subject identified as a potential danger in Boston who has been using keywords in his cell phone calls, and non-linguistic pauses and voice inflections indicate that he is demonstrating a schizoid pattern. According to the procedures described, we must intensify vigilance over him, make a deep control of his finances, quietly interview some of his friends and co-workers, determine his voting record, find out which groups he belongs to. He is a university professor. He teaches American history. Do we have something about how he interprets the Founding Fathers, the Constitution ... oh look, he seems to be making statements about the need to limit the power of the central government ... we have a case, guys. "
They will diagnose the teacher by saying that he has schizoid tendencies and will force him to medicate with antipsychotics, which will sink him into a brain fog and slow down his motor reflexes, at least.
That's what we're going to do.
Psychiatry and the State of Massive Surveillance, holding hands.
