Now Independent Thinkers Considered Diseased by Psychiatry

(NaturalNews) Psychiatrists have been working on the fourth revision of
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and, in
it, they hope to add a whole slew of new psychiatric disorders.
Unfortunately, many of these disorders are merely differences in
personality and behavior among people.

The new edition may include "disorders" like "oppositional defiant disorder", which includes
people who have a pattern of "negativistic, defiant, disobedient and
hostile behavior toward authority figures." Some of the "symptoms" of
this disorder including losing one's temper, annoying people and being
"touchy".

Other "disorders" being considered include personality flaws like antisocial behavior, arrogance, cynicism or narcissism. There
are even categories for people who binge eat and children who have
temper tantrums.

Children are already over-diagnosed for allegedly being bipolar or having attention-deficit disorder (ADD),
which results in their being prescribed dangerous antipsychotic drugs.
To categorize even more childhood behaviors as psychiatric disorders
will only further increase the number of children who will be needlessly
prescribed antipsychotic drugs.

Each new revision of DSM has included controversial new additions, and this newest version is no
exception. In fact, the manual has increased considerably in size over
the years. What is most disturbing about the current proposed revisions
is the blatantly brave, new way in which so-called medical professionals
are viewing individual characteristics.

Children who exhibit unique eccentricities in accordance with their unique personalities, in
general, would be categorized as having a mental illness. If this
criteria had been used in past centuries to diagnose illness, there may
have never been people like Mozart or Einstein who ventured outside the
norm and came up with new or unique ideas.

A Washington Post article captured the essence of this concept perfectly in the following
quote:

"If seven-year-old Mozart tried composing his concertos today, he might be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder and medicated into barren normality."

The perception that character differences are somehow a psychic illnesses not only
absolves individuals of personal responsibility, but it takes away their
unique personhood. It reduces people into subjects that cannot think
for themselves, but rather have to be controlled through drugs.

Which brings us to perhaps the biggest thrust behind the DSM revisions: the
drug companies. Pharmaceutical companies stand to gain a lot for having
virtually every person categorized as mentally ill and in need of drugs.

A more accurate approach to the situation is to assess the psychiatrists
and drug lords who are contriving such nonsense as being the true
possessors of mental illness. Perhaps these people are the ones that
need to be institutionalized.

If you ask me, blithely accepting the profoundly sick society we live in is a sure sign of mental illness. If you can watch television for ten minutes without becoming furious, you are insane.

Citizen, you are so right, so sad that we have lost so many of our greatest resources...our children.
Right on fireguy, they will indeed reap the whirlwind.

Well Sweetina, the Diseased Phychiatrists can consider this.

Since fools base their thoughts on foolish premises, their conclusions will be wicked madness.

""If seven-year-old Mozart tried composing his concertos today, he might be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and medicated into barren normality." -- Just think of all the "Mozart s" We have lost due to this pharmacrap attack on the individual. Think of the Einsteins or Planks or Tesla s or any name from history that has made a significant contribution to mankind's base of knowledge and culture progress how much have we already lost? Now with new "rule" book in hand we are about to let doctors destroy future generations and rob our children and grandchildren a future bright enough they would go blind to see, instead the future seems fizzled and bland all people homogenized and made the same no one special and no one able to break from their state sponsored predefined roles. I weep for the future of humanity as i scream at the present humanity to WAKE THE F UP BEFORE IT IS ENTIRELY TOO LATE!!!
