“We’re always here for you"

For context: One of the rules in that community is that you aren't allowed to post anything related to suicide. In a mental health community.
The right wing's entire ideology is “fuck you, I don't care whether you live or die”, and they're firmly in favor of the various forms of oppression that drive people to suicide in the first place, so yeah, taking mental health advice from a rightist isn't the best idea.
Yes i know. My gouverment doesn't feel responsibility for a group called 'Heilpraktiker', who tell you that stones can heal depression and that cancer is manifestated hearth break...
I just learned about all of that a few month ago and still feeling... shocked
They actually do. "Heilpraktiker" (for reasons there is no perfect translation. Think non-doctors practicing alternative-medicine being endorsed in part by the german and as far as I know austrian government in those respective countries) are more or less supported by laws not banning them and actually granting them privileges. So no one can say that the german and austrian governments don't care about "Heilpraktiker". Some parts of them actively push this.
I want to strech out, what "Heilpraktiker" are. Not for you but cause i want to express how much i dislike them.
The Training programm doesn't have much regulation. It's just an exam and some courses to take. During this time you are told to "become creative" with the diagnosis. Only then you can see the biger picture.
Right now they are in the spotlight cause if "false memory" tactics. They tell new trainees, that they had expierence child abused (when they have not) and by that making them question their own reality. They made them leave their family, isolate them and make them depent to them.
And germans are like "but they seem more nicer than actual doctors so they have a Daseinsberechtigung" *screams into void"
Wild charlatan used gaslighting! It's super effective!
