Schizophrenia: A Nonexistent Disease
Wayne Ramsay, J.D.

"By this lay or colloquial definition of schizo­phrenia, the American Psychiatric Association's definition of schizo­phrenia in DSM-IV-TR is itself schizo­phrenic."

"Damag­ing the brains of people eccen­tric, obnox­ious, imaginative, or mental­ly dis­abled enough to be called schizo­phrenic with drugs (erroneously) believed to have anti­schizo­phrenic proper­ties is one of the saddest and most indefensible conse­quences of today's widespread belief in the myth of schizo­phrenia."

"Belief in biological causes of so-called mental illness, in­clud­ing schizophrenia, comes not from science but from wishful thinking or from desire to avoid coming to terms with the exper­ien­tial or environmental causes of people's misbehavior or distress. The American Psychi­atric Associa­tion's defini­tion of schizo­phrenia as non-organ­ic or non-medical in DSM-III, DSM-III‑R, DSM-IV, and DSM-IV-TR, and the failure to delineate a biological cause for schizophrenia or even an association between schizophrenia and anything of a biological nature in DSM-5, and the repeated and consistently unsuccessful efforts to find a biologi­cal cause of so-called schizo­phre­nia, suggest "schiz­o­phrenia" belongs only in the category of socially/culturally unacceptable thinking or behav­ior rather than in the category of biolo­gy or "dis­ease" where many people place it."

"Many mental health "professionals" and other "scientific" researchers do however persist in believing "schizophrenia" is a real disease despite the non-organic, non-biological diagnostic criteria in the various editions of the DSM. Influenced by those who came before them, they are like the crowds of people observing the emperor's new clothes in Hans Christian Andersen's short story, unable or unwilling to see the truth because so many others before them have said schizophrenia is real. A glance through the articles listed under "Schizophrenia" in Index Medicus, an index of medical periodicals, or an Internet search, reveals how widespread the schizophrenia myth has become. Because these misguided "scien­tists" believe "schizo­phrenia" is a real disease, they try to find physi­cal causes for it."

Is schizophrenia a ‘real’ illness?

"Psychiatrists cannot admit schizophrenia is not a biological condition without admitting the invalidity of the concept of schizophrenia, which is arguably psy­chiatry's most well-known and most classic supposed mental illness, or what Dr. Szasz calls "the sacred symbol of psychiatry."
