What happens when someone wants to classify PMS as mental???
Funny how you asked that question. For the first time in almost two decades the nation’s psychiatrists are “updating” their guidebook (Diagnosic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) used to diagnose mental disorders. Among the most controversial proposed changes: Dropping certain familiar terms like Asperger’s disorder and dyslexia and calling frequent, severe temper tantrums a mental illness. If a temper tantrum is a mental disorder...PMS must be certifiable.
I agree with the poster. There is a movement afoot to denigrate a HUGE chunk of the citizenry and EXPAND the definition of mental illness. It is a ploy to remove 2nd amendment rights without changing the constitution. Considering that 1 out of every 5 Americans is prescribed anti-psychosis, anti-depression, or anti-anxiety drugs, 18% of all cops diagnosed with PTSD (and treated with the same meds) and the epidemic of “mental illness” in active duty troops (top reason for military hospitalizations are “mental illness” in nature)...this is a large percentage of folks easily disarmed via mental health screening when applying for purchase permit/Concealed Carry.
Mix all this with ObamaCare, forced online medical records registry, and the “Executive Pen,” it begins to stink worse than Al Roker’s undershorts.
