I'm still uncomfortable with the concepts and rhetoric that make up Mad Pride.

Is there some underlying idea that 'madness' is just a different way of perceiving that shouldn't be treated like a disease?

"Madness" sometimes includes different ways of perceiving, which can be very useful, creative, beautiful, and valuable.

Nevertheless, some aspects of having wonky brain chemistry suck donkey dongs.

Can we have Cranky Pride?

Very much with you on that score. The thing I think it's important for the anti-treatment camp to consider is that a treatment model can include the desirability of retaining any of the aspects one sees as positive. I don't want to be free of mild halluciantions/visions or hypomanic highs that don't interfere with the way I want to live my life but, there was all that donkey dong suckage I did want rid of and it's possible to target and treat only that.
