we all know that homosexuality is not a mental illness. 280 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000 Tis not. 281 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Tis not a mental illness. 282 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000 And I'm sure everyone is aware that at some point it was considered a mental illness. 283 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Yes. 284 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,000 But here's some interesting tidbits to think about. 285 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,000 In 1973, homosexuality was actually taken out of the DSM-5, which is 73. 286 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Sounds like 50 years ago. 287 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Right? 288 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Like literally that was 50 years ago. 289 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000 When that was thought of me was still illegal back then too. 290 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Yeah. 291 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 When you were talking about Robert Brunella, that even when you know, you said that he 292 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000 was, we went to college in the 60s or was in high school in the 60s or whatever it was. 293 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000 And then it wouldn't be until like 13 years later. 294 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000 Like it was considered a mental illness. 295 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Well, yeah. 296 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000 It reminds me of like, the Immunerapsity, like with Queen and stuff. 297 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Like they were in like the late 70s, but still like it was a big deal even for Freddie Mercury 298 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000 to kind of come into his own. 299 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000 And he was famous. 300 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 He's got the vipers. 301 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000 So, of course, the DSM-5 for listeners that might not know what that is, that is the Diagnostic 302 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Encyclical Manual that provides pretty much a guideline for classification of mental disorders 303 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000 and psychiatry. 304 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 And that is the American Psychiatric Association. 305 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000 That creates that. 306 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000 It's true. 307 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Remember because Dr. Zimbardo was on the APA, Psychological Association. 308 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Yeah, that great guy. 309 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000 He's a great guy. 310 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000 So ethically correct. 311 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:02,000 So the redaction stated, quote, homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgments, 312 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000 stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities, end quote. 313 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000 Yeah. 314 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:13,000 And that this redaction aimed to, quote, take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness 315 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000 that has long been associated with homosexual orientations, end quote. 316 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000 With that, however, there is something that shifted socially. 317 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Since it was no longer classified as a mental illness, society was like, so you choose this? 318 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Yeah. 319 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:37,000 And it came with the stigmatization, basically, still, that it wasn't a mental illness. 320 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Now, it's a choice. 321 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Yeah. 322 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000 And now you're choosing to be this way. 323 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Yeah. 324 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000 And it wasn't recognized anymore. 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Since it was no longer classified as something that was diagnosable and therefore treatable, 326 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000 society started villainizing the queer community, unfortunately. 327 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000 So awful. 328 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000 So instead, they're like, oh, well, you got to cover for a while, but now you're saying 329 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 to mind and you choose to be this way. 330 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Maybe perhaps you're more crazy now. 331 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Yeah. 332 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000 You're not choosing this. 333 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000 So then as a result of this, the community started seeing an increase in mental health 334 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000 issues. 335 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Yeah. 336 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Like depression. 337 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000 And anxiety. 338 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Exactly. 339 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,200 And PTSD, which is really interesting, but now it's like, okay, it's not diagnosed as 340 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,200 homosexuality, but now you will have all of these real- 341 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,200 What's a co-occurrence? 342 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,200 Yeah. 343 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,500 These real things that happen to people in the community as a whole because of that, 344 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,680 which you want, of course, it's a good thing. 345 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,200 It's not a mental illness. 346 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,200 Yeah, absolutely. 347 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,000 But also, it's like, okay, because it's now, I would say decriminalized, if you will, or 348 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,480 it's now no longer a mental disorder, now people are more comfortable coming out as such, 349 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:51,760 and then therefore they are comfortable expressing their other internal thoughts and their anxiety, 350 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,600 depression, what have you. 351 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,840 So it's not only, okay, now I don't have to face the fear of being prosecuted or whatever 352 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,840 because- 353 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,840 Or put in asylum. 354 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,840 Exactly, because I feel that way. 355 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,560 So now I feel I could be more open about my other anxiety, depression, whatever I would 356 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:15,120 be dealing with on top of society's fear of then having queer people in the streets. 357 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:22,320 And how horrible that is, honestly, that they didn't care too much about it because queer 358 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,480 people were being put away as insane. 359 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,920 And that, but then after this comes out, it's like, they started policing their own streets 360 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:40,840 and then, and unfortunately the queer community got a lot of that backlash and stuff. 361 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,840 It's really sad. 362 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,840 It's awful. 363 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,920 And honestly, within the last few years, I looked it up earlier that actually rates 364 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,200 of suicide and depression and anxiety are actually going down in the queer community. 365 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,160 So I think it's definitely because society is shifting yet again. 366 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,160 Yeah, absolutely. 367 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,160 It's more like, I feel like especially now with the platforms that we have, it's so much 368 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,880 easier to connect with people that are going through something similar to you. 369 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,840 And it's hard, I mean, in any walks of life, it's hard to find people, if you're any sort 370 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,600 of, dare I say, different from anyone else, then it's like, especially back then, in the 371 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,840 70s and stuff, wouldn't have someone that you could call or match with. 372 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Right, yeah. 373 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:27,280 You would have to have to go underground to a bar that accepted gay people or were gay-owned. 374 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Exactly. 375 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,920 Yeah, great list of stuff, but also real controversial topics. 376 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,200 So we're going to end with number five, lunacy. 377 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,480 Okay, that sounds like something having to do with the moon. 378 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,000 Well, let's talk about it. 379 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:52,120 So we've heard the term lunatic to describe people who are crazed or presumed crazy, but 380 00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:59,200 maybe you've never heard it described as this because sometimes people don't or haven't. 381 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,560 The term actually comes from the moon, like you said. 382 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,560 Oh, yeah. 383 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,560 So, Luna, let's see. 384 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,600 And it's actually the Latin, the original word is a Latin term, which was lunaticus, 385 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,840 which actually means to be moon-struck. 386 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,920 So in the 1700s, philosophers and doctors thought that the brain was the wettest organ 387 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:22,000 in the body, and much like tides tend to be affected by the moon, they assumed that people's 388 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,040 brains would change as well. 389 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,720 Just because they're both water-based? 390 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,720 I guess. 391 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Another reason that one might experience lunacy and that is on full moons, people would be 392 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,840 disturbed by the bright light source and it would disrupt sleep patterns and cause crazed 393 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,640 episodes similar to what we now know is bipolar, seizures, and insomnia. 394 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,000 Oh, well, I mean, I can kind of get on board with some of that. 395 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,120 Like on a full moon, people do tend to act oddly. 396 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,920 However, I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that we know it's a full moon 397 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,640 and we're anticipating for the after full moon. 398 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,000 So it's like, you notice it more. 399 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320 It's just like a similar lady you buy in a white car. 400 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,160 Now you see white cars everywhere because you have one or whatever. 401 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,400 Just for time's sake, I didn't include a lot of those. 402 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,960 There's a whole list of ones, even on the Wikipedia page for lunacy, or actually, I think 403 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,120 now it's called Lunar Effect. 404 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:22,160 And so if you just Wikipedia Lunar Effect, there's all these studies that they've done, 405 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,400 like they say like, oh, car crashes are higher or motorcycle, but they say that it's usually 406 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,680 because people are distracted and they're looking at the moon. 407 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,920 They're not paying attention what they're doing. 408 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,160 Well, it's also, have you seen that website about the weird correlations and stuff that 409 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,960 have nothing to do with each other, but for some reason they correlate? 410 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,520 Like the John Wilkes booth and the other guy? 411 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,520 I don't know. 412 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:54,000 I'm thinking of, like, one of the correlations on there is murder rates spike at the same 413 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,880 time as ice cream sales. 414 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,880 And it's because it's not having anything to do with each other. 415 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,920 It's just the fact that it's hot, so ice cream sales spike and then like anger spikes. 416 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,920 Like, I don't know. 417 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:11,360 There were some other ones like it did say, you know, epilepsy was more of a risk factor 418 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:16,760 on full moons just because of the light, but it has nothing to do with the fact that it's 419 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,400 actually the moon that's doing it. 420 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,920 Yeah, that's what they're trying to say. 421 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,440 Yeah, that, you know, the light reflects things off more, you know, and so if you're driving 422 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,760 at night, you know, the reflection might, and it might cause a seizure. 423 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,760 That makes sense. 424 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,360 Yeah, and like one of the other ones that like, it's so silly, the correlation that 425 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:43,600 you have to look, it's called, like, I just googled honestly like weird correlations, 426 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,960 but one of them is as the number of Nicholas Cage films that he appeared in goes up, so 427 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,040 did the number of people who drown in a swimming pool. 428 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,640 It's like, it has nothing to do with each other, but like they both go up at the same 429 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,640 time. 430 00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,640 And down. 431 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,640 And down. 432 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,640 It's weirdly correlated. 433 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,640 It's so silly. 434 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,640 Oh, damn. 435 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,640 So silly. 436 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,520 He just had a movie come out too. 437 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,520 He did? 438 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,520 Oh no, swimming pools. 439 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,520 Sailing for swimming pools. 440 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Oh, god. 441 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,520 That's ridiculous. 442 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,520 Go ahead. 443 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,520 Sorry. 444 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,520 No, thank you. 445 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,760 So, yeah, so again, you know, we now know that these things are bipolar disorder or maybe 446 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,920 schizophrenic episodes, things like that. 447 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,360 However, the people that are being most affected by those things are transient people. 448 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,720 People that sleep outside, people that are exposed to that. 449 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,320 And so is it that it's lunacy? 450 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,040 Or is it just people that are, yeah, people that are transient usually have mental health 451 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,040 issues. 452 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:50,000 So, you know, anyways, so the word lunacy has actually since been taken out of medical 453 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,480 journals and laws. 454 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:59,120 It actually wasn't until 2012 that President Obama would enforce the removal of the word 455 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,080 from any and all federal law publications. 456 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,080 Wow. 457 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,720 This law was called the 21st Century Language Act of 2012. 458 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,240 Because he's like, listen here, motherfuckers. 459 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,240 It's a 21st century. 460 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:14,120 It's actually like stupid asses because they're actually like lunatics. 461 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,520 Literally, like, that's, I did not know that. 462 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,520 That's so wild. 463 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,520 2012. 464 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,960 It was moved from our federal laws. 465 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,640 That was 10 years ago. 466 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:24,640 That's ridiculous. 467 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,640 That's crazy. 468 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,640 Ah, I said crazy. 469 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,640 Crazy. 470 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,800 That's lunacy. 471 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,040 That is wildly. 472 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,040 That is my list. 473 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,040 That's, that was a really good one. 474 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,520 I'm glad that you decided to do that. 475 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:41,080 I actually was catching myself like googling like interesting psychology topics or like, 476 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,520 you know, crazy, whatever to like start researching for the my next mental breakdown. 477 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,440 And I just couldn't land on something that was really, that was really cool. 478 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,440 It's outside the box. 479 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,440 It's a little bit different. 480 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,480 Well, I also, you know, again, like we, I don't, I didn't want to dwell too much on 481 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:02,080 the, not that it's not very real history, but things like homosexuality because we know 482 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,160 that homosexuality was illegal. 483 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:10,920 But to think, to think about the way that the community was affected, you know, that 484 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,640 the struggle was real. 485 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,360 It's not like it's like, oh, well, it's out of the DSM five is no longer a mental illness. 486 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:17,920 Now we don't have to worry about it. 487 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:23,600 No, like it had very real ramifications that the queer community really had to deal with. 488 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,240 But of course the one about the lesions on the backs of slaves and how the treat like 489 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,720 that's just cruel. 490 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,720 That is cruel. 491 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,120 And it's just, it's, you know. 492 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:38,760 So I definitely wanted to think about things that, you know, when you did scientific racism, 493 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,480 I mean, that was just like huge. 494 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,160 Honestly, something that I never really thought about. 495 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,960 And I think people should recognize as a very real thing. 496 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,960 Of course. 497 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,720 And I really do appreciate the fact that like you're coming on here, obviously, from an 498 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:56,400 educational standpoint, like, and I appreciate it that we can have these discussions on our 499 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,480 podcast and it's, it's, it's important, you know, it's a big deal. 500 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,040 It's not something that, and just because, again, like you said, it happened at the 501 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,920 past, oh, it's for past it, we're not, you know, past it. 502 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,040 It's still very prevalent today. 503 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,040 Yeah. 504 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,560 It's, it's really hard to talk about. 505 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,720 But the important thing is to have this conversation. 506 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,720 Right. 507 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,720 Of course. 508 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,720 Especially the same thing what we talk about with mental illness all the time. 509 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,720 Yeah. 510 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,320 We definitely want to create a safe platform for people to talk about anything that they 511 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,720 want to talk about everything. 512 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,640 So thank you guys for joining us. 513
