Psychiatric meds are always a knife's edge thing. Give the right meds to someone who has debilitating mental health issues, and you can get a person who is at least a partial functioning member of society. Give the wrong meds to someone who is healthy, and you can destroy a man.
I know NOTHING of Ye's mental health status. But I know enough about the topic to be aware that what he's claiming is plausible.

Not too familiar with her case either. I just know she ultimately won, and that her father was a manipulator that wanted her money.
@icedquinn @IcyGrillz
I've heard that she was treated like she had severe mental health issues long after she should have been deemed sound of mind. I do not know what that entailed, but forced drugging sounds very plausible. In which case, yeah, that could have fucked her up too.
combine that with a complex that benefits from you being classified as unwell, well.
i can't speak for ye but this kind of stuff happens
@icedquinn @IcyGrillz
Well, the US system at least, does seem to pathologize everything these days.

@icedquinn @alyx @IcyGrillz somewhat related, iirc there was a study done where a scientist had a bunch of people go to a mental health institution and claim they were crazy and some of them got locked in there and the scientist had to confirm it was just a study.
@icedquinn @Awoo @alyx @IcyGrillz there's not a whole lot in psychology that can actually be OBSERVED, it's all a lot of theory crafting and people trying to understand other people, rather than people trying to understand the world/universe. it gets a bit messier. but it is super interesting to read about and think about. one psychologist will have completely different ideas than another one. i feel like some of it relates to philosophy.
