The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention says that at any given moment about a quarter of American adults are mentally ill and that over the course of their lifetimes about half of all Americans will develop at least one mental illness. In addition, says the agency, "mental illness is associated with increased occurrence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, epilepsy, and cancer."

Yep. And a great way to control political dissidents. Your reservation, room for one, in the Gulag is confirmed. No smoking. No pool. No pets.
On one hand, we have this. On the other, we have a psychological community that considers caffeine withdrawal a mental health disorder, but considers homosexuality normal.
lol, population 50% women. Anyway I have eight in my family, gonna have to get rid of half? Which ones? What if I am wrong? Good reason to use those hollow points! Mind control. These guys would make hitler so proud of them.
I guess Palin Derangement Syndrome, Bush Derangement Syndrome, and being registered as a Democrat are now classified in the DSM-IV?
According to the article, they are now including smoking (tobacco of course, not pot).
That means one of the Obamas is mentally ill. Is it Barack or Michelle?
Essentially yes.
Have you noticed, when approaching/appealing authority, that if you are dispassionate your cause is obviously unimportant — because you have no attachment — but if you show emotion then you're obviously you cannot have a rational case.
When the American Psychiatric Association classifies EVERYTHING as mental illness, the figure seems incredibly low. Anxiety and stress are APA classified while everyone else calls them......life.

‘Nuff said.
Liberals are NOT 50%.
2012 was Won by solid dem/lib vote, uncountered fraud and sit at home purists.
Hope you forgot the “sarc” notation.
Thanks Rusty0604. Meme-building ping.

What a pathetic joke.
So the goal is to designate everyone as mental defectives and limit their liberties.
They want the legal power to lock up anyone who presents a problem.
Challenge your overlords and show a bit of high emotion while doing so; well that man is obviously mentally unstable.
If you are a conservative and happen to shed a tear at your mother’s funeral; well we your overlords noticed and marked it down for future reference because you definitely should not own firearms because you are unstable.
For the Progressive the law is a tool to control the masses. The Progressives have seen that the second amendment is an impediment to total control of the masses. Well if law can constrain those who should wield power then law shall be the means to constrain those who will not yield to those who would rule.
That statement is sexist. Sexism is wrong and being wrong is fer woman.

Its a restatement of what has always been the case among all populations since the beginning of man.
Most mental illnesses are neither dangerous, incapacitating, nor permanent.
Law enforcement, the judiciary, legislators, and liberal pundits are no more free from dealing with mental issues than anyone else.
In my younger years I worked with many that were from behind the Iron Curtain. The job sucked and I stayed way to long, but I look back now on it and the gem I take away from it was what I learned from these folks. And one of those things is how the USSR used Psychiatry as a Political Weapon against those who were resisting Statism. Can one see history maybe not repeating itself but at least rhyming here? If you go there then one may ask why were they so intent on all medical records in a centralized database at their disposal and subject to Siblius's "shall issue" power?
No those people are called autistic or anhedonics or introverts and there is a pill to treat them too. So nobody escapes getting their soma.

# 38. 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].
