The Hysteria Problem: Mental Health, Culture and Alternate History

[SenatorChickpea]

My distrust of you is born of careful observation of past experience and due judgement of character; your mistrust of me is superstition, peasant parochialism and the instinctive hostility of the lesser evolved mind.

Finally got around to reading this article, and I loved it. As someone who's struggled with mental health issues and has a heavily-stigmatized disorder myself, I'm ashamed to admit that I never considered the idea of alternate understandings of mental health, and the sheer breadth of possibilities that open up as a result is really amazing.

Great article, and I really hope to see more stuff like this in the future!
