TROM Is Psychology Science? | Page 10

Ok, so, this is a tiny part of my crazy life. It wasn't like that all of the time, though. I had a breakdance team, many friends, I played football and so many other things. But from the ages of 12 through 18, I´ve been through many unpleasant situations which created the many tics and “strange” patterns of behaviours I had.

I don't want you to think that I solved all of those problems overnight, although I actually did for a few of them. Most of them took me awhile to deal with. It wasn't too pleasant to force myself to behave differently and overcome those tics or behaviour moods. But the important thing is that I could, on my own, get rid of all those behaviours, which modern psychology calls symptoms of “mental diseases” and are most often treated with drugs.

So, with all those tics and behaviours, I could have been diagnosed with many mental “diseases”, put on multiple drugs (with side effects) and eventually, I think, would likely have transformed into a zombie, doing way more harm than good.

My own life experience can be more valid than what many experienced psychologists analyze and diagnose, because I know how it feels to have such symptoms and I know what “treated” them. But, I may also be wrong since the easiest person to fool is yourself. That´s why we should take a look at the science of psychology and “mental diseases” from a 3rd perspective;

one that critiques it with scientific

evidence.
