Modern psychiatry has become a hotbed of corruption, particularly the kind that seeks to demonize and declare mentally ill anyone who deviates from what is regarded as the norm. This is abundantly evident in the latest installment of the industry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, which dubs people who do not conform to what those in charge declare to be normal as mentally insane.
The so-called “condition” for why a person might choose to resist conformity has been labeled by the psychiatric profession as “oppositional defiant disorder,” or ODD. The new DSM defines this made-up disease as an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” and also lumps it in alongside attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, another made-up condition whose creator, Dr. Leon Eisenberg, admitted it to be phony on his death bed.
As you might suspect from this type of open-ended description, almost any personal behavior perceived by someone else to be undesirable or strange might be categorized as symptomatic of ODD. Children who throw temper tantrums or fight with their siblings, for instance, might be declared to have this supposed mental illness, as might children who express disagreement with their parents or teachers.

Well. Duh. The whole thing is being run by big pharma who gives the most money to....wait for it...the Dems. If you don't pull your kids out of public school this very instant, before they get drugged up not behaving like a slave, you don't really love your kids. Simple as that.
ReplyDeleteI agree 10:50. Parents need to immediately stop falling for these faux diagnoses du jour.
ReplyDeletePoliticians benefit as well as Big Pharma. The more kids that are diagnosed with these faux conditions the more schools can modify standardized tests, thereby making it appear as if school is doing better than it really is. Is gives politicians a bragging platform of having excellent schools when the reality is-it's only an illusion.
The problem is most parents can't see the forest through the trees and think everyone else has their child's best interests at heart. That's complete and utter BS. The people in charge of the schools have only their best interest at heart and are only in a administrative position because of their willingness to be a slave to the politicians.
May we have some sane comments please?
ReplyDeleteIt is a made up condition so that now when anyone gets a psychiatric check the doctor can apply this BS "condition" which will fall under a mental disorder and you will not be allowed to buy or posses firearms. It is another form of govt. control that the sheeple will just let happen.
ReplyDeleteNon-Conformity means you disagree with the government.
ReplyDeleteIf you are classified as insane - then you cannot have a gun.
Without a gun you cannot defend yourself against the government.
got it?
I was born with it..have always gone my own way, off the beaten track, rooting for the underdog and doing the right thing, even if it was unpopular.
ReplyDeleteI never realized I was mentally ill, just because I refused to conform.
Ditto 6:10PM
ReplyDeleteCommunists' goals:
ReplyDelete38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
ReplyDeleteJeepers, just got used to buying the occasional sandwich at the Hyatt and now they're gonna need the beds again for those the state has classified as nuts!
