For conditions like obesity or diabetes, people are judged for not eating right, or not exercising enough.  For symptoms like fatigue, aches and pains, or brain fog, people are blamed for being lazy or not trying hard enough.  Or, if the symptoms are recognized as real, they&#8217;re told they have &#8220;autoimmune&#8221; disease and their body is attacking itself.</p><p>The nature of medicine on planet earth is largely to blame the person.  Medical research and science doesn&#8217;t have answers for the billions of people on this planet suffering with symptoms, so they put the blame on us to protect the industry.  It&#8217;s not our fault for not having answers, or not understanding illness, it&#8217;s your fault.</p><p>There is no place where this is more evident than &#8220;mental illness&#8221;.  Telling someone their symptoms are in their head because the symptoms are not understood is the ultimate gaslighting.  It&#8217;s the opposite of compassion.</p><p>Compassion is the understanding of suffering.  When someone doesn&#8217;t understand our suffering, telling us that it&#8217;s in our minds is the least compassionate thing that can be done.  It&#8217;s saying &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe your symptoms are real&#8221;.  It&#8217;s blaming the very core and fabric of who someone is.  It&#8217;s saying, &#8220;your mind, your soul, the very nature of who you are is diseased.&#8221;</p><p>In order to heal, especially symptoms that affect our mental health, it requires understanding.  It requires understanding what is actually causing the symptoms, and it requires understanding what the experience is like.  Compassion is the source of healing.  Since we often don&#8217;t get this compassion from others who haven&#8217;t suffered in the way that we have, we have to have compassion on ourselves.  We have to know it&#8217;s not our fault, and that we are not to blame for the illness.</p><p>There are real answers for chronic illness, and illnesses deemed &#8220;mental&#8221;.  In my over twenty-five years of searching in health, I have only found one source that tells us the true cause of symptoms and conditions, and how to heal.  This is the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/">Medical Medium</a> information by Anthony William.  His eight books have been the best-selling books in health these last nine years.</p><p>It&#8217;s with this information that I was able to fully and completely heal from schizoaffective disorder.  I was told it was all in my head, but once I learned the true, physical causes of the symptoms, I was able to heal.  I was told the illness was &#8220;genetic&#8221;, and &#8220;in my mind&#8221;, and that I would have it for life by people who didn&#8217;t know why I was sick.  I was told I&#8217;d have to manage the symptoms with medication for the rest of my life, by people who didn&#8217;t know what was causing the symptoms.  I have now been medication-free for over 11 years, and am symptom-free.  I am living my life.</p><p>If you are struggling with mental health symptoms, please know that there are answers.  There is a way out of the darkness.  You are not the cause of the symptoms, and once you learn what is the cause and what to do about it, healing is possible.  By learning that there are real physical causes, and you are not to blame, healing has already started.  You can have compassion on yourself because now you know it&#8217;s not your fault, and you have more understanding of your suffering.</p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://mentalhealthfreedom.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!
