You should checkout all the work EdReform has done in this thread. Or just read from post 232 and on.

All you have to do is convince the psychiatric "professionals."

Psychiatrist who helped declassify homosexuality as mental illness dies (March 9, 2003)

Dr John Fryer, the US psychiatrist credited with convincing his profession to stop classifying homosexuality as a mental illness, has died at the age of 65.

Fryer appeared at an American Psychiatric Association (APA) convention in 1972 in disguise under the name 'Dr H Anonymous', telling the group that he had suffered discrimination and had to remain anonymous because being gay would cost him his job.

The following year, the APA's board of trustees removed homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

So see you ARE right, until 1973 being queer WAS a mental illness. And how fitting that a queer shrink - pushing his own agenda gets the 'rules' changed willy-nilly. No science, no nothing. Just, "I'm gay and 'suffered discrimination', so YOU as a group must change" the definition of what's a mental illness --- AND THEY DID!

So please, can anyone give some rational of why anyone should believe or trust any Psychiatrist or Psychologist? Since they make up the rules as they go along, it sure the H#LL isn't science. I offer ADD & ADHD as a prime examples of more 'junk science' - or 'junk medicine'.

Oops, gotta run, I'm late for an appointment with my gypsy fortune teller.
