Also called "mentalism" ..., sanism describes the systematic subjugation of people who have received "mental health" diagnoses or treatment. Like racism, sanism may result in blatant discrimination, but will be most commonly expressed in "multiple, small insults and indignities" known as "microaggressions." 2, record 1, English, - sanism

Forme de capacitisme, le sanisme est un système de croyances et d'oppression par lequel les personnes ayant un fonctionnement mental ou psychique différent sont injustement stigmatisées et discriminées. À l'instar du capacitisme, le sanisme suppose que les personnes soi-disant sans trouble de santé mentale sont normales (parce que majoritaires) et ont un fonctionnement social désirable, tandis que les personnes ayant un fonctionnement mental ou psychique différent de la majorité seraient anormales, déficientes et auraient un fonctionnement social condamnable. 1, record 1, French, - sanisme

Mentalism is for metaphysics what empiricism is for epistemology. We cannot know that our sense impressions actually correspond to anything outside of us. Mentalism goes a step further by claiming that our senses impressions do not correspond to anything outside of us. It claims that they are simply ideas in our mind without any external reference. For Mentalism, nothing exists unless it exists in a mind. It denies that anything is physical, for it holds that everything we sense is what it is only because some mind believes it to be what it is. 1, record 2, English, - mentalism
