An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON MENTAL LLINESS
Nothing defines the quality of life in a community more clearly than people who regard themselves, or whom the consensus chooses to regard, as mentally unwell.
Renata Adler (American author of essays, short stories, journalism, book reviews, and film critic)
Schizophrenia cannot be understood without understanding despair.
R. D. Laing (1927-1989, British psychiatrist)
There is no such "condition" as "schizophrenia," but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.
R. D. Laing (1927-1989, British psychiatrist)
Schizophrenia may be a necessary consequence of literacy.
Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980, Canadian communications theorist)
No further evidence is needed to show that "mental illness" is not the name of a biological condition whose nature awaits to be elucidated, but is the name of a concept whose purpose is to obscure the obvious.
Thomas Szasz (1920-, American psychiatrist)
