Colophon

This is a fictional satellite.

Mentalillness is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real disabled product behind this page. Nothing entered on this site — signup, checkout, or the chat widget — is stored or sent anywhere outside this browser tab.

87% of mental illnesses are classified as "spiritual roots." anxiety = "lack of trust." depression = "lack of joy." psychosis = "demonic oppression." "renewing of your mind." the app has the verse. the app has your mind. the mind is the data. the data is the root. the root is the app. the app is not a psychiatrist. the app has a couch icon.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
