This is an insult to people who have real mental disorders. No one chooses to have schizophrenia. Caffeine consumption is a choice.

I’ve got a cousin who now claims his trouble with math are due to mental illness.

Obama’s mental health speech was nothing but another dog whistle.

[American in Israel]

And I am sure they can cure it for only $75 bucks an hour talking about your sex life.

Freaking idiots.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Watch some able-bodied twenty-somethings put in for SSDI based on this.

[traditional1]

Alrighty, then, I guess I, too, can jump on the SSDI bandwagon with the rest of the parasites with hangnails, and miscellaneous insundry maladies!

[familyop]

That proves that too many psychs. are crazy.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Lack o coffee does not make me crazy.

It does seem to make the rest of the world a little more nuts though.

As long as I can remember, my parents always had a pot of coffee on. When the “Mr. Coffee” type coffee makers came on the market they switched to it.

They absolutely had to have their coffee tho of course it was not a mental disorder. They could have quit if they had no other choice.

[cyclotic]

Yeehaaa. I went cold turkey a couple weeks ago on my 5-6 cupa day habit and felt like garbage for a few days. I got a disorder so now I can skip work and stuff.

It’s their fault anyway, they were the ones with free coffee. Maybe I’ll sue them.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Great post. I agree 100%.

[Pan_Yan]

I’m gonna go hide my wife’s coffee pot then sign her up for SSDI.

[Post Toasties]

So being gay is not now a mental disorder but coming down from caffeine is?

[NoGrayZone]

Oh please. It’s a few days worth of headache. Just like carbs, get over the hump.

What a pussified nation we have become.

This is an insult to people who have real mental disorders

And a threat to people who own guns or may want to own a gun.

[porter_knorr]

But...will it be one that California takes away your guns because you now have a mental disorder?

[Retired Chemist]

Ever hear of shift work disorder? A commercial is running on one of my local radio stations for a drug to treat it.

[Caipirabob]

So if you quit taking coffee, they can take away your guns.

Got it...

[GraceG]

Tea Contains Caffeine....

They are going after the Tea Party, LITERALLY!!!!!

Because if you are suffering Caffeine withdrawal they can now take your guns....

[Stepan12]

But homosexuality is no longer a mental disorder because men having sex with men activists intimidated the cowardly psychiatrists to drop it from the DSM. Also, pedophilia is only a disorder if one feels guilt about the actions according to the latest DSM. :-|

[RobinOfKingston]

...five or more of the following symptoms, says the guide, you’ve probably been caffeine-buzzed: restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis (having to pee a lot), gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, rambling flow of thought and speech, tachycardia or cardiac arrhythmia, periods of inexhaustibility or psychomotor agitation (unintentional motion, say, rapidly bouncing one leg).

Symptoms?

Most of that list is what passes for normal for anyone competent enough to plug in and load their own coffee pot.

[TexasFreeper2009]

um... caffine withdrwaw is now a mental disorder.. but being attracted to someone of the same sex is perfectly normal?

Why does any one take ANY THING the APA says seriously.
