Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher

I recently discovered Mark Fisher from a Hacker News thread where someone described themselves as being "Fisherpilled". Mark Fisher was a teacher at University of London and wrote a fantastic blog I'm still reading through called k-punk. His writing mixes pop culture references with philosophical concepts. He committed suicide in 2013, and a lot of his writing is based in the belief that mental illness is capitalism's "invisible plague". It seems heroic that he succumbed to something he has published work on. Perhaps he had bias, but a lot of what I have read from him so far rings true. I quoted this paragraph from his book Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? because it sums one of his main points throughout:
 

"The current ruling ontology denies any possibility of a social causation of mental illness. The chemico-biologization of mental illness is of course strictly commensurate with its de-politicization. Considering mental illness an individual chemico-biological problem has enormous benefits for capitalism. First, it reinforces Capital's drive towards atomistic individualization (you are sick because of your brain chemistry). Second, it provides an enormously lucrative market in which multinational pharmaceutical companies can peddle their pharmaceuticals (we can cure you with our SSRIs). It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; and the task of repoliticizing mental illness is an urgent one if the left wants to challenge capitalist realism."

His work makes me want to organize and get this message out. If our lives can be improved through legislation, are we not in a society that supposedly represents the people it governs? Couldn't we make things better for ourselves?
