When Therapy Replaces Morality: The Rise of the Therapy State By replacing religious frameworks with therapy speak, Western society may have lost its moral “grammar” and traded it for clinical language—though moral and psychological categories work differently. The DSM has expanded dramatically: in 1952 it listed 102 disorders; by 2013 it had over 400. Meanwhile, young adults report worsening mental health: poor mental-health days among 18–25-year-olds rose from 3.5 to 6 per month between 1993 and 2020, and depression diagnoses more than doubled from 2006 to 2020. Yet the most striking shift is self-diagnosis. About one in four American adults suspect they have ADHD, while actual prevalence is around 6%. Social media fills the gap: many popular ADHD and autism clips include misleading or unsupported claims. The label persists because it serves a function. A diagnosis increasingly becomes identity—and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they may be drawing a boundary others are not allowed to cross. Where moral language asks what we should become, therapeutic language labels what we are; once the label becomes identity, the conversation often ends. Religious language framed forces as external, preserving agency—you could resist. Therapeutic culture internalizes them: you don’t have weakness to overcome; you have ADHD. Jung argued that old gods and demons didn’t vanish; they became neuroses, anxieties, and addictions—turning questions of conscience and choice into labels to accept. The result isn’t greater freedom but greater control. If a civilization can’t say “wrong,” it doesn’t necessarily become more tolerant. Moral language permits disagreement and growth; therapeutic language can pathologize it and end discussion. The therapy state is the successor to moral authority—and it may be easier to enforce.
The Therapy State Western society has traded moral language for therapy-speak, losing moral grammar and replacing it with clinical categories that don’t work the same way. About 25% of American adults suspect they have ADHD, though prevalence is 6%; on TikTok, most top ADHD videos include unsupported claims. People misdiagnose themselves far more often than they correctly identify mental illness—and yet self-diagnosis persists because it serves a social function. Moral categories allow disagreement: you can argue about right and wrong, measure choices against standards, and debate what those standards require. Psychological categories pathologize disagreement: diagnosis becomes identity, and identity becomes a shield. When someone claims ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, they’re not just describing symptoms—they’re setting a boundary you’re not allowed to question. The shift from “what we should aim for” to “what we are” ends the conversation. Jung saw this displacement mechanism: modern gods and demons don’t vanish; they become neuroses, anxieties, addictions, and therapeutic labels. The question of conscience and choice becomes a fixed identity that must be accepted. Unlike religious frameworks that locate forces outside you and invite struggle, therapy culture internalizes the forces—so the label replaces agency. You don’t resist weakness; you *are* it. And because boundaries can’t be crossed, change becomes harder. When a civilization loses the ability to say “wrong,” it doesn’t become more tolerant—it becomes more rigid. The therapy state replaces moral authority, with disastrous results.

ADHD in adults often goes unnoticed and undiagnosed, and its symptoms can be confused with typical distraction, which is why it is essential for individuals suspecting the disorder to analyze their past and seek professional diagnosis, as ADHD is associated with experienced suffering and affects daily life.

Researchers at Uppsala University Hospital have compiled an article discussing the potential risks for ADHD, autism, and other cognitive impacts in young children who are anesthetized before surgery, indicating that while animal studies show negative effects of anesthesia on brain development, the conclusions for humans remain unclear and necessary medical interventions should not be delayed due to theoretical concerns.

Huomio huomio! Olen kiinnostunut professuurista. Meriitit: 1️⃣ Synnyin ilman korvia ja toista kyynärpäätä, mutta onnistuin kasvattamaan ne paikoilleen ennen kouluikää pelkällä tahdonvoimalla. Niitä tosin särkee välillä sateella. 2️⃣ En osannut puhua vielä yläkoulussa, mutta kehitin tilalle telepaattisen lidar-tutkan, jonka ansiosta pystyin siirtämään ajatukseni muille. Laite on nykyään käytössä suojelupoliisilla. 3️⃣ Nuorena tyttönä työskentelin lauttana, koska Hämeenlinnan kaupungilta puuttui silta Vanajaveden yli. Kuljetin uimataidottomat mummot selässäni vuolaan virran yli muutaman kerran päivässä. (Sunnuntait pidin tosin vapaata.) 4️⃣ Noilta vuosilta on peräisin tekemäni syväsukelluksen SE-aika, kun pelastin Aulikki-mummoa pohjasta parin tunnin ajan. Hän onneksi selvisi, ja siitä kiitokseksi ostin hänelle huvilan Karibialta. 5️⃣ Maastavetoennätykseni on 345 kiloa. Se olisi kyllä ollut 346 kg, mutta sairastin samaan aikaan aivokalvontulehdusta, kurkkumätää ja mahalaukun kiertymää, joten tehot olivat vähän heikot. 6️⃣ Olen hiihtänyt 15 Finlandia-hiihtoa kolmessa viikossa. Voitin tosin vain 14 kultaa, koska viimeisellä kerralla minulta katkesi sauva, suksi ja oikea käsivarsi juuri ennen maalia. Niinpä jouduin tyytymään pronssiin. 7️⃣ Olen tehnyt väitöskirjani hiukkasfysiikasta. Urakkaan meni kaksi viikkoa. Ks. kuva. 8️⃣ Olen kerännyt kolme miljoonaa euroa hyväntekeväisyyteen. Myin silloin Hämeenlinnan torilla joululevyä, jossa laulan moniäänisesti ”En etsi valtaa loistoa”. Säestän samalla meitä itseämme jouhikolla ja kampiliiralla. Tuote oli hitti, ja rahat menivät lasten syöpäosastolle. 9️⃣ Minulla on absoluuttinen sävelkorva. Kykenen matkimaan useita lintuja, joten vapaa-aikanani kuljen metsässä ja harhautan laulullani pahat sorsastajat suolle. 🔟 Olen vähemmistön edustaja, sillä olen kasvosokea nainen, jolla on adhd. Ota yhteyttä jos sulla on tarjolla hyvä professuuri. #professuurit #osaaminen #erityisyys
