If they fail they should be partitioned from society and monitored until counceling brings them to mental stability.
I’m seeing mental problems everywhere; in person and online (name your social media). Most people are clearly mentally unhealthy, they are polarized, sociopathic, delusional, depressed, etc crossing way passed unsafe levels, and we just let them crawl around society.
Now we all can verify that mental problems are increasing rapidly but the numbers would be much higher if they actually were all reported.
I’m going to leverage my connections in society to push a bill to make this reality
The irony being that from your post history you’re at best a troll at worst insane yourself.
Then again if luna tics run things…
I’m not a “troll” and I’m very sane
I’m sure that’s what the insane say too in a lot of cases.
I’m not sure if you are genuinely this trusting of institutions, but weaponized psychology has been a tool of oppression for the field’s entire existence; lobotomizing anyone deemed “degenerate”. Feminists were deemed insane. Women who reported domestic abuse were deemed insane. Homosexuality was in the DSM-4, and there are STILL gay conversion programs running now in the USA and other countries. “Gender dysphoria” is a condition in the DSM-5.
Also consider: if the government is mandating the evaluation, they can easily weaponize it to stifle dissent. Any “safeguards” against that type of behavior would ultimately collapse the moment the government just decides it doesn’t want to follow said restrictions. What would that look like now in the USA? Is opposing the PotUS a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. In the UK, is opposition to the Digital ID system of excessive paranoia? of “histrionic personality disorder”?
Just hear from experiences of people who were exploited by hospitals and other psychological institutions, including in the USA of a few years ago. These peoples lives were destroyed under the guise of acting “for your safety”. You’re talking about mass-imprisonment and drugging of people who have not even committed a crime.
…And the worst part is, I’m not even sure this is an unpopular opinion. The widespread adoption of “Mental Health Holds” in recent decades is proof that many lawmakers support these policies. I’ve seen it in the USA, and heard testimonies from the UK and China of the same problem. The President of the United States directly built off this mentality with his executive order Ending Crime And Disorder On America’s Streets. California, which is as far opposite from the current President as you can go, recently created a parallel institution for this purpose with its “CARE Courts”.
A high-stakes “pass or lose freedom” test is the absolute dumbest idea anyone could attempt right now. If you do this in the UK, being trans or anti-israel will fail you. If you do this in the USA, not being “MAGA” will be enough.
Universal health care with some form of applicable sabbatical / vacation / recuperation leave will fix most of the problems you note. A real UBI would fix most of the rest.
Your politics, support or lack of support for a country and gender has nothing to do with psychological test don’t worry
I really suggest you read up on the weaponization of psychology. It wasn’t that long ago that being anticapitalist could land you in a mental facility. Being a suffragette or anything vaguely feminist got a LOT of women lobotomized. Being gay got a lot of people committed, and it was officially a mental disorder in MANY places up until shockingly recently (and still is in some places), same with being transgender or nonbinary or genderfluid.
🫥 they need to update the DSM for sure.
What the fuck is wrong with you
What’s your issue?
Why not just free psychological assistance? I don’t think like a forced test is a good way to fix issues. It’s not like the psychologist comes, fixes your brain and then you’re all good.
People need to want to improve their life, the psychologist assists in that process.
That’s crazy talk, off to the camps for you.
Man I can’t even get a psychological evaluation when I ask for one. Where are you going to get an army of psychologists to implement mass judgments that are actually fair and healthy?
Have you seen how many people have “psychology degrees” if that field of academia is enhanced and they actually can understand psychology it would be feasible.
Well you get an upvote because it’s an unpopular opinion. But I wouldn’t trust them to administer this in a way I consider fair, and I don’t think they’ll just pay or house people to recover, so they might all become homeless.
I like the idea of getting a psych evaluation. I think it’s a fantasy of being studied, maybe similar to being paranoid. On TV and movies when psychologists are digging into the character, I think that’s projecting a human fantasy of being studied. The idea that you matter enough to attract this kind of attention to your psyche.
Regrettably, stuff like this would be ripe for abuse with the current regime.
You will have no idea whether this would be abused or not. It’s speculation on your part and the others saying such things. You’re saying it with certainty. I find most of you cynical thinkers.
“Hide that problem I don’t want to see!”
Every person should be given a free psychological evaluation once a year
Oh great.
Every person should be given a free mandatory psychological evaluation once a year
Oh no.
Keep in mind that social media companies profit by enticing users to engage in their platform. They keep a nice steady flow of extremism to keep their users coming back.
That doesn’t discount that people are mentally ill and still need such evaluations
Unpopular opinion indeed
