Joka kolmas vuonna 1997 syntynyt nainen on saanut Kelalta tukea mielenterveys- tai neurokirjon perusteella. Miehillä vastaava luku on alle puolet tästä. Ollaanko me nuoret naiset oikeasti sairaampia kuin koskaan, vai onko meille syötetty toimintamalli, joka ajaa pakan sekaisin? Mitä tapahtuu, kun: -Somerullaus silppuaa keskittymiskyvyn, ja jatkuvasta ylistimulaatiosta haetaan adhd-diagnoosia? -”Social contagion” tekee mielenterveys- ja neurokirjon oireilusta trendikkään identiteetin? -Jatkuva ”strong independent woman” -paine kieltää ajatuksen siitä, että nainen voisi kukoistaa parhaiten silloin, kun rinnalla on mies, joka kantaa vastuuta ja luo turvaa? Onko helpompaa ottaa lääkäriltä diagnoosi kuin kyseenalaistaa koko nykyinen elämäntapa? Ja pakko laittaa disclaimer loppuun vielä: En tietenkään tarkoita että kaikki diagnoosit olisivat perusteettomia, vaan haluan vain herättää naisia ajattelemaan että voisiko tässä olla muutakin takana😊 Kerro kommenteissa: Onko ihmisyydestä kadotettu jotain olennaista, vai diagnosoidaanko me vain normaalia uupumusta? 👇 #politiikka #suomi #feminismi #naiset #naiset #mielenterveys #feminismi

Interesting question: Could ADHD have evolved as an evolutionary advantage? People who screened positive for ADHD switched to exploration more quickly and, in this specific task, achieved greater reward-harvesting efficiency. They also abandoned less rewarding resource patches https://t.co/uRJVU5067p #ADHD #evolution #psychology #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

When Therapy Replaces Morality: The Rise of the Therapy State By replacing religious frameworks with therapy speak, Western society may have lost its moral “grammar” and traded it for clinical language—though moral and psychological categories work differently. The DSM has expanded dramatically: in 1952 it listed 102 disorders; by 2013 it had over 400. Meanwhile, young adults report worsening mental health: poor mental-health days among 18–25-year-olds rose from 3.5 to 6 per month between 1993 and 2020, and depression diagnoses more than doubled from 2006 to 2020. Yet the most striking shift is self-diagnosis. About one in four American adults suspect they have ADHD, while actual prevalence is around 6%. Social media fills the gap: many popular ADHD and autism clips include misleading or unsupported claims. The label persists because it serves a function. A diagnosis increasingly becomes identity—and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they may be drawing a boundary others are not allowed to cross. Where moral language asks what we should become, therapeutic language labels what we are; once the label becomes identity, the conversation often ends. Religious language framed forces as external, preserving agency—you could resist. Therapeutic culture internalizes them: you don’t have weakness to overcome; you have ADHD. Jung argued that old gods and demons didn’t vanish; they became neuroses, anxieties, and addictions—turning questions of conscience and choice into labels to accept. The result isn’t greater freedom but greater control. If a civilization can’t say “wrong,” it doesn’t necessarily become more tolerant. Moral language permits disagreement and growth; therapeutic language can pathologize it and end discussion. The therapy state is the successor to moral authority—and it may be easier to enforce.
The Therapy State Western society has traded moral language for therapy-speak, losing moral grammar and replacing it with clinical categories that don’t work the same way. About 25% of American adults suspect they have ADHD, though prevalence is 6%; on TikTok, most top ADHD videos include unsupported claims. People misdiagnose themselves far more often than they correctly identify mental illness—and yet self-diagnosis persists because it serves a social function. Moral categories allow disagreement: you can argue about right and wrong, measure choices against standards, and debate what those standards require. Psychological categories pathologize disagreement: diagnosis becomes identity, and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they’re not just describing symptoms—they’re setting a boundary you’re not allowed to question. The shift from “what we should aim for” to “what we are” ends the conversation. Jung saw this displacement mechanism: modern gods and demons don’t vanish; they become neuroses, anxieties, addictions, and therapeutic labels. The question of conscience and choice becomes a fixed identity that must be accepted. Unlike religious frameworks that locate forces outside you and invite struggle, therapy culture internalizes the forces—so the label replaces agency. You don’t resist weakness; you *are* it. And because boundaries can’t be crossed, change becomes harder. When a civilization loses the ability to say “wrong,” it doesn’t become more tolerant—it becomes more rigid. The therapy state replaces moral authority, with disastrous results.
