"If You Question Authority, You Are Mentally Ill", Report Finds

I wish we wouldn't emulate EVERY single thing the Soviet Union did.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Homosexuality is no longer a mental illness, but questioning anything the feral government does is a mental illness.

Check.

So gays respect homosexual authority? Give me break

I know he’s not exactly popular here, but Glenn Beck warned about this sort of thing beginning to happen years ago.

[dfwgator]

Just like in the Soviet Union.

And if you NEVER question authority and simply follow like a sheep, that makes you a ___________ (fill in the blank)

That’s alright. I;d rather have a mental illness than be completely brain-dead and utter “hope and change” every 2 hours.

[Boogieman]

This is sensationalism. Just because that is ONE of the symptoms of a disorder, doesn’t mean that everyone displaying that behavior has a disorder. That’s not how diagnoses work.

For example, one of the symptoms of “Antisocial Personality Disorder” (psychopathy/sociopathy) is:

“Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.”

That doesn’t mean that every criminal is a sociopath, it just means that sociopaths almost always display some criminal tendencies.

In the Soviet Union, a systematic political abuse of psychiatry took place[1] and was based on the interpretation of political dissent as a psychiatric problem.[2] It was called “psychopathological mechanisms” of dissent.[3]

During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used as a tool to eliminate political opponents (”dissidents”) who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted official dogma.[4]

I am NOT argumentative. ABSOLUTELY NOT!! NOTNOTNOT!!!!

[Impala64ssa]

30+ years ago, these same hypocrites drove around in battered rusted out Volvos and VW's held together with these bumper stickers

Funny how they faded from the scene when Hil and Bill got elected, then they made comeback of sorts when Bush43 was in office, but since 2008, they've been rarer than an original fuel injected 57 Chevy.

I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

ODD was in DSM-IV. It is almost exclusively applied to children. There is usually another underlying condition, such as terrible parenting.

I am not a fan of DSM-V for a number of reasons, but it does simplify diagnostic practices. Oddly, psychiatrists played a huge role in developing it. Psychologists are far more qualified to test, evaluate and make diagnoses.

“...an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance, argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed.”

My teen-daughters have this. Luckily it usually goes away by the time they get home from school.

I saw a movie like this recently called "Divergent." If anyone showed any symptoms of non-conformity or creativity in the tests they were given, they were declared Divergent—an enemy of the state—and executed.

It was actually a pretty good flick.

[MeshugeMikey]

this is the “logical” outcome of feminism.

[hinckley buzzard]

Ignorant reporting. ODD is not a new mental disorder. It has been around for years, and previous editions of the DSM. But this is what you get when the ignorati run amok and trash the living room.

[no-to-illegals]

There are sane people on this planet? Gosh, don’t anyone tell the Grays ... There will be more inbreeding with Earth people.

[Drango]

Most psychiatrists are far more twisted than the general population.
