The American Psychiatric Association has taken the position that it is an antiquated position that mental illness does not actually exist. Furthermore, since 1995 it has been the position of the American psychiatrists that an enlightened view of mental illness is that people afflicted with what is called mental illness have structural defects in the brain and are therefore permanently ill without the use of dangerous and painful psychiatric drugs such as neuroleptics and lithium. These drugs mimic mental illness and cause life threatening side effects in people who take them.
