Look at this number: 3,200,000,000,000. That's how many planets exist in our galaxy alone. If you tried to count them — one per second, every second, never stopping — it would take you over 100,000 years. That's just in one galaxy. There are 2 trillion more galaxies.

Psychiatry has thrust 'illness identities' on a 1/4 of the population. Yet, recent research confirms that once we adopt an illness identity, we often behave in ways that confirm & deepen it' becoming chronic 'treatment'-consumers. This isn't helping & healing - it's exploitation.
