The Hidden Crisis of Women’s Mental Health

In a national survey conducted in 1972, researchers determined that women, when asked, were much happier than their male counterparts. Well, fast forward 53 years, and you’ll find that women are twice as likely to be on anti-depressants and three times as likely to be on anti-anxiety medication. Women’s happiness has dropped through the through the floor. Meanwhile, there has been perhaps a conspiracy in the mental health industry practices, clinicians to cover up a rise in cluster B borderline personality disorders seen specifically in women. For some reason, this pandemic of cluster B behaviors is infiltrating every aspect of our society and mental health practitioners are on the sideline not knowing what to do, what to say, or how to respond. Meanwhile, our entire society is getting blown up. This is life 2.0. Let’s talk about that. We’ve all seen the videos. Some woman at Starbucks or in an airplane or at Target or Walmart has a complete meltdown, complete tantrum. And then when people try to intervene to prevent this really violent outburst in many cases from getting any worse, they turn into the victims. You’re hurting me. I can’t breathe. you know, I’m I’m just a girl. This is turned into a meme. It happens so often. We’ll call them Karens, that kind of thing. It happens so frequently that we know exactly what the stages of this cluster B personality meltdown is when we see it. But for some reason, there doesn’t seem to be any public outcry. Like if men were having psychotic breakdowns and behaving in this way, they would probably be some kind of a special counsel created to figure out what the hell’s going on. Do you know what I mean? But because it’s women, it seems like it doesn’t get quite the same level of concern. I would agree that men when they have a meltdown, somebody’s probably going to get hurt or killed. So, I can see the in the difference in intensity there. But nevertheless, when women do this, it still disrupts people’s lives, maybe even destroys people’s lives. So my question is, has feminism caused a mental health breakdown in women? Now, I don’t want to make this whole video about feminism. I want to talk a little bit more about these cluster B personality disorders, but I think it’s an interesting question. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that for most of my life, I thought feminism was a good thing. I thought it was all about equal rights. That was my perception. And only recently has it become clearer and clearer to me that feminism is not about equal rights at all. Feminism is just a word that they have co-opted to describe or to identify to hide the fact that it’s a radical political ideology. And it has nothing to do with equal rights at all. In fact, it has everything to do with female dominance of our society and overturning all of the traditional values that we have held dear for, you know, hundreds of years. It’s about forcing women into roles that they don’t necessarily want. It’s about pushing women to do things that don’t come naturally to them. It’s about excluding anything masculine and calling it toxic. There is no two types of masculinity from their perspective. There’s not good masculinity and toxic masculinity. All masculinity is toxic in the eyes of a feminist. So be clear when we talk about feminism these days. We’re not talking about, you know, those women back in the 1970s burning their bras and holding up signs saying equal rights. No, that’s not that at all. These are more like the anarchists. These are people who truly want to burn down society and start over with a female dominated version of it. And I, for one, am not on board. So, what are cluster B characteristics of a personality disorder? Really, we’re talking about emotional dysregulation for the most part. Um, main character syndrome, you know, uh, where they believe that the whole world revolves around them. So, there’s some aspects of narcissism in it. Um, they can be extremely aggressive, complete lack of accountability. Um, very low on the empathy scale. There’s a lot of narcissism, like I said. Um, impulsivity. Uh, there’ll be aggression followed by victimhood. And you know, you unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last at least the last decade, you’ve seen this. You’ve seen it everywhere just like I have. And you’re not just seeing it in the most extreme cases like we see in these Tik Tok videos or on Instagram, but we’re seeing in our day-to-day lives. Now, maybe they wouldn’t be having the same kind of meltdown that you would see in a video, but you know, scaled down versions of it, you know, where it’s still pretty extreme and it’s still enough to make you think, is she crazy? Really, I think she’s crazy. Cluster B and borderline personality disorder are not reserved for women. Men get it too or men can express it too. When men do it, they usually end up in jail because the aggressive aspect of this disorder can result in people getting seriously hurt or killed. When women are aggressive or they’re in that assertive aspect of this disorder, it’s pulling hair, scratching, throwing drinks, kicking, um being belligerent, you know, being just mean. So, they don’t go to jail quite as often. They’re more likely to be diagnosed with uh or they’re sentenced, I should say, to some kind of um uh therapy, while men are much more likely to just go to jail for it. But what’s interesting is in the mental health uh profession, they’re very very hesitant about diagnosing women with borderline personality disorder or these cluster B personality disorders. And I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that so many of the radical females leaders in the feminist organization or feminist movement would fit the criteria for being diagnosed borderline or cluster B. Some of the most common characteristics of cluster B personality are lots of tattoos and piercings. Yeah, we’ve talked about that. You know, those are our red flags for who not to date. Well, there’s a good reason for that. Turns out they look crazy. They probably are. Yeah. All those piercings and tattoos are um indications of self harm. That’s really what it is. years ago, I had a client that um her husband had died from colon cancer and she was really struggling and she uh brought her daughter in to train with her cuz she was trying to create some kind of a you know a bond with this girl and cuz she could tell she was really struggling after the loss of her dad. Anyways, this girl’s in the gym and we’re doing some exercises and I’m looking at her arms and they are all cut. I mean they are just there’s hundreds and hundreds of cuts across her arms and they are red like it has happened recently. Her mother was aware of it and I’m I think she was in counseling. She was getting therapy for it. But tattoos and piercings are just an extension of that cutting that teenagers did when they were kids. Now that they’re adults, they can go to the next level and they can make these cuts permanent by tattooing it onto their bodies. Now, I’m not talking about the oneoff tattoo here or there. You know, you’re like the the one you get um you know, when you’re in the army or you you’re maybe uh on vacation with your friends, you get a commemorative tattoo. No, I’m talking about when you see that whole sleeve of tattoos that go up the neck and down the leg and they’re all over her body. And even with men, there’s a good chance that these kinds of tattoos are indications of trauma that are um associated with people who frequently have emotional dysregulation and they don’t know how to express themselves. And when they do express themselves under duress, it comes out in extremely negative ways. I think it’s pretty clear to any observer of our culture and society over the last decade or two that there is a mental health crisis going on in our country. Yet, for some reason, those people who have dedicated their lives to helping people who are suffering from mental health issues struggle with identifying or wanting to identify these cluster B personality disorders in women. And a big part of the reason for this is because a lot of these women who have taken over the psychology field are cluster B. That’s why as they see this in themselves. So you can find a therapist or psychologist who is covered with tattoos and got has face piercing. She’s got a nose ring. These are indications that these women are suffering from exactly the same problems. And so they don’t see them as problems. They don’t see it as a personality disorder. They see it as a um a a choice, a way of living, a uh a lifestyle, if you will. And the rest of us are looking at it and going, “No, that’s pathological. That’s up. Like you you can’t act like that in public. You can’t behave that with other people like that with other people. You are not the center of the universe. You cannot go around disrupting other people’s lives just because you think you’re more important or that your message is meaningful. No, you are not the the queen of the world. And we are fed up with it. You know, I think maybe I’m being a little unfair to some of these mental health professionals. They haven’t completely ignored this cluster B problem. They’re actually trying to come up with a new name for it because cluster B and narcissism and borderline personality disorder have a lot of negative connotations. You know, nobody likes to be called crazy, you know, and especially when they’re behaving crazy. We don’t want to make them uncomfortable. Obviously, accepting responsibility for their behaviors is a problem for them to begin with. and we don’t want to teach them how to self-regulate. Emotional self-regulation. For whatever reason, that seems to be off the table. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to change the name of these cluster B characteristics as it pertains to women. And we’re going to call it something like complex post-traumatic stress disorder. That’s what we’re going to call it, complex PTSD. Because if we call it complex PTSD, now we’re playing into the victim part of this thing. these poor women have been victimized in some way, shape, or form, and that’s why they’re behaving this way. Now, in all reality, there are some that have truly been victimized. But what’s interesting is that when you ask just normal people about their childhood and you take a look at the characteristics that these mental health professionals use to determine whether or not someone has been uh traumatized, about 60 to 70% of us have been traumatized based on their criteria. Now obviously that’s not true. Obviously, that that can’t possibly be the case, but it just goes to show that the way that they’re approaching this problem in order to funnel these people into this different definition of mental illness is like they’re going out of their way to make them seem like victims. Like they’re and remember I mentioned earlier that a lot of these same women that are in the mental health profession are the same people that they should be treated for. Like they are the same people. We’ve got the crazy people in the mental health institutions and we’ve got the crazy people who need to be treated by those people. And it’s interesting that the blind spot is like holding it up a mirror like I don’t see anything wrong with that. That seems completely normal to me, right? Yeah. Things have gone off the rails, guys. And they’ve gone off the rails in a big big way. This cluster B stuff is hardcore serious and it hides in plain sight. And if you’re not watching for it, and I mean really really watching for it, because they are um manipulative. They are extremely manipulative. That’s a very important characteristic to recognize. Um they will they will reel you in, man. They’ll hook you, reel you in, and before you know it, your life is turned upside down, and you’re wondering what the hell happened. You do not want to have one of these women in your life. That’s why I keep talking about the piercings and the tattoos. There are giant red flags, but they’re not the only ones. there’s other ones out there. And that histrionic behavior, that um you know, fear of missing out that you see them on social media and they’re trying to get all this attention and this lack of accountability and this inability to have a sense of um uh compassion and empathy for other people. All these things are just huge. And you know, and when you see a girl that’s hot and you see all the wonderful things about her, it’s really really easy to overlook some of these really red flags. [Music] Men and women are complimentary and we work best in concert. I will be the first to admit that men probably are a little insensitive on an emotional level, but I can get that. I’ll buy that one completely. But women are just a little little too deep on that side of the pool. Um when you exclude masculinity from a field like psychology which has been done men are basically almost completely out of the field altogether over the last 50 years. I think only about 10 to 20% of um PhDs in psychology are men. And certainly on the therapist level, it’s hard to find a man therapist. But when you have a large percentage of women in a field, especially on the research side, they start to see the world from a different perspective. objective truth and reality start to fade into the background and subjective what would be right for everyone kind of comes to the forefront. So rather than making objective decisions or judgments on what’s happening, you know, the outcome of research for example, or um taking a look at uh people’s behaviors and objectively diagnosing them, women are much more likely to subjectively look at it and think, well, how is this going to affect everyone? How’s this going to affect society? What will the implications be? And of course, that’s not the place of the the clinician to decide. That’s not what researchers are there for. They’re there to provide us with data, not to give us moral judgments. And women feel like it’s their authority to give us the moral judgment as well. And that is where things break down. And that’s why this cluster B thing has gone completely undiagnosed on a societal level. And that’s why it’s getting worse. Quite honestly, it’s been over 20 years since they did a a a an assessment of the problems of cluster B in women um in our society. And over that course of 20 years, our society has changed a great deal. And it’s very clear to any observer that it’s getting worse. And women have children and they model for those children these behaviors. And those children grow up thinking that’s normal. This is not a good thing. It’s not a good thing for us. It’s not a good thing for them. You know, we cannot be um continuing. We cannot continue to have this cluster B pandemic influencing our culture and society uh polluting the minds of children and destroying healthy normal relationships. And like I said in the beginning, feminism is not about equal rights anymore. It is a radical ideology. If they were telling the truth, it would be an anarchist type of ideology, one that is designed specifically to overturn the status quo and to implement a female dominated culture. Now, I know that sounds crazy and conspiratorial. I know it does. If you if you told me that a few years ago, I would have told you the same thing. That’s crazy, John. You can’t be serious. Telling you man, most radical version of feminism, that’s definitely what it is. And that’s definitely what it was from the very beginning. Um there have been books that have come out here recently uh about these original meetings of the original feminists and um the agenda of overturning American culture and society was the underlying reason for feminism had very little to do with equal rights. It was about female domination and that is what it is. Now, the irony is most women are extremely unhappy in these roles. The female domination does not fit well with their natural rhythms of living. And thankfully, I don’t think it will ever. I believe that the vast majority of women are just now beginning to reject feminism as we have known it. In order to solve any problem, first you need to have recognition that there is a problem. And that’s where we’re at right now. Is that as a society, we need to say there is a serious problem with women’s behaviors. Now, it’s not all women. It’s not all women. But what has happened with what is now being called feminism, which is not feminism that we knew when we were growing up. This is some radical version of anarchy that is happening. And it is having a detrimental effect not only on women but on children and on relationships. And it is under this undercurrent is pushing us further and further apart. It’s time for you as men to have a recognition that this behavior is first of all not a normal healthy female behavior. Now I realize there are some characteristics of it that may seem like that like perhaps you know women have these underlying behaviors to begin with and but the what we’re seeing in this cluster B stuff is that that on steroids you know it’s like yeah um men build muscles but not like you know the rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger you need some some chemical help to get that and that’s what these women are doing. They’re basically exaggerating these female characteristics to a level that we could not even imagine. And generation after generation, it’s just getting worse and worse and worse. And I fear to even think about what’s coming up next. Debu, can you sit? Just sit. Just sit. Feminism has told women that traditional families are an institution of control created by the patriarchy. It’s an artifact of a time gone by from long time ago and that there is no reason for a woman to ever submit herself to that kind of lifestyle. But what’s interesting is in that American family survey that came out, I think it was earlier this year, they found that women who were married with children reported levels of happiness that were about four times higher than those women who were single and living alone. That’s pretty significant. That’s pretty significant. Now 40% of the women who were um married with children claimed that they were very happy while only about 11% of the women who are living alone uh said that they were very happy. So that’s a that’s huge. Now 40% in terms of very happiness being married with children. That’s still not a great thing. I think that number should be a lot higher. Personally I think that there’s more work that we can do in that field as well. But certainly when your young single women who are living in these cities and are following this feminist ideology are saying that they’re very happy. One in 10. That’s a lot of very sad women. That’s a lot of very upset women who are living very dissatisfied lives. And it’s a human tragedy. I mean we we can laugh at them all we want. you know that they’re doing this to themselves, but I would suggest that they’re more victims than we’re giving them credit for. There is a victim mentality that they’re missing. They’re victims of femininity of feminism. They’re victim of a radical ideology that they bought into. They believed that this was all about equality. And as they’ve turned out, it’s all about changing the nature of men and women, of masculinity and femininity. It’s about doing away with the balance, the cooperation, and creating an imbalance, a domination. And in that imbalance and domination, there is um nothing but pain and sadness for women. All right, you guys. That’s all I got for you today. I certainly hope you’ve enjoyed this video. If you have, please like and subscribe. If you know someone who may have a feminist in their life, share it with them. You know someone who’s got a cluster B person in her their lives or someone who is a cluster B, share it with them. You know, like I said, I’ve made fun of some of these behaviors in the past. But I think that it’s a lot worse than I have been thinking and what I’ve suggested. I think this is actually a severe mental illness and I think that a lot of women have it. A lot of them. Um, I’m just taking a a guess that somewhere between, I don’t know, 25 and 40% have some version of this cluster B personality disorder. Maybe more. I’m sure there’s some guys out there that’ll say, “Oh, are you kidding, man? It’s more like 80%.” But there’s a lot of them. And what’s interesting is these women who have the worst case cluster B personality disorders, they’re modeling these behaviors as if they’re healthy to a healthy women who then think, well, maybe I need to be acting like that. Anyway, I could go on and on and on. Anyway, till next time, remember, like and subscribe, stay healthy, and if you can stay single.

  1. I disagree. „Feminists“ do have a concept and differentiation of desirable masculinity and toxic masculinity. When they‘re in their activist phase, all masculinity is toxic to them. But when they get nether region urges or see the wall coming, suddenly the differentiation appears again, because the alternative is to date a soyboy (the species of man they‘d like to cultivate in their activist phase).

    I‘m genuinely baffled how they systemically think about where they‘ll get the desirable men from they want, if they‘d get their wish to soyboyize all men, but I digress.

    Maybe the DSM-V should add a personality disorder: Feminist Disorder.

  2. You're seeing this as social contagion where modern radical hater-destroyer feminism is some mind virus. I, however, blame the modern world itself, the bankruptcy of high-tech materialism, the lack of true contact with nature, IOW, I see a whole set of more organic, underlying things going wrong. Today, instead of having interconnecting roles in real lives, we're doing lifestyles, one as buried down in Baudrillard's stack of simulacra, lost in hyperreality as the next. For example, how many job titles in the help wanted section have the word "outreach" in them? And how many women take these jobs? That's not a real job. Lifestyles are hardly more than fashion statements. As such, you're just clamoring for validation, getting others to help you push your cheeriness sled around. And this battle of lifestyle validation and cheery sledding is more obviously pathological seeming with women. Bottom line: We're in an existential crisis overall, and women going crazy is just a canary in the coalmine. But then a buddy of mine the other day said, "Shut up, Sherlock, it's just decadence." HTH/YMMV.

  3. In other countries, there are millions of children thirsty for a masculine presence in their lives, even a couple times a month provides some consistency. And you don't have to marry or even date the mother. Protect and provide satisfies our biological role.

  4. Women are truly useless today. Absolutely worthless.
    Feminism IS SATANISM. Period. Do your research. The government used women.
    Feminism is based in the occult beliefs. They are literally slaughtering their children. Its pretty fucking obvious.

  5. Dont lie. Its all woman. some have it, most enable them. Secondly. Men have been too soft, thus for the most part have been enabling this. I'm helping men on dutch tiktok and in the process of setting up a bizznizz to help young men especially navigate this crazy world and make them win in every aspect of life. If you want to speak truth, speak the full truth, dont cherrypick. Men like me (who know a lot about feminisme, psychology, sociology, filosophy, intersexual dynamics etc) are watching. Remember this. The room for errors is getting smaller everyday John.

  6. What I see happening in society is that there is a war against healthy masculinity, most of these women (and men) had poor masculine role models in their younger years.

    Healthy masculinity wouldn't allow what's happening in our society.

  7. I work as a Psychotherapist, and specialize in Crisis Stabilization – Cluster B and Borderline Personality disorder has definitely increased drastically among women. The "Feminist Happiness Paradox" is a very real thing. If you build a society around praising a group of people for just existing, there will always be stark, and negative, responses when they are shown that little bugbear "reality." You get what we are seeing today.

  8. John, you are right on the money I believe that women are the victims and a target of a bigger plan to alter our relationships to destroy the families. I believe this with all my heart I have lived through it. I am truly the victim of narcissistic girlfriend for eight years I finally put my foot down and do you want to love them so bad, but it’s just impossible.

  9. I dated what I believe to be a cluster B BPD once. I kind of should have known better because I have a psych background and all of the signs were there, but I was just looking for a fling anyway. The problem is they are very charming at first, and she did suck me in even though I planned on keeping it casual. One day they flip the switch and it’s like you go from the best thing ever to the worst thing ever over night, and it will never go back to the same again. Learn what I did, and never date one of these red flags.
