Yup. Democrats.
It’s why they were so instrumental in closing down so many of the mental health facilities...
Lol!! To a T.
So being a rotten person is now a “disorder”?
Honestly, I thought this was going to morph into having strong beliefs you wouldn’t cave on, as in Conservatives are mentally unstable.
Can’t believe we dodged that bullet.
Wife says I have this
I’m teaching it to my boys
Don’t listen to anything this article has to say about opposing stupid authority figures it’s perfectly rational calm and very important in today’s world mind you I live in California so understand
This really begs the question. We need a context. Some things are quite sensible to defy.
Is this condition restricted to people, or can a State ( i.e. CA ) have this as well ?
What about cooperative obedient disorder?
“Gee, Officer Krupke—WE’RE BAD!”
trolls?
Everything is considered a psychiatric disability. Read Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
In there you will find, among others: mathematical disorder; writing disorder; public speaking disorder. Check it out of the library sometime, and you’ll be shocked and amazed, and maybe amused.
Essentially what happens is that some psychiatrist somewhere is treating some oddball “disorder”, and enters into a deal with others who are treating other, equally ridiculous disorders, and they all support each other so as to get the “disorders” included in the DSM.
DSM5 has 947 pages. DSM2 which came out in 1968, had 140 pages.
I heard of oppositional defiant disorder years ago. I also heard of RAD - reactive attachment disorder - and both of these were in relation to children adopted at later ages - my youngest didn’t come to live with us until she was 5 1/2. RAD, we were told, is more common in children who have been shuffled from one foster care placement to another, attaching and then losing that family, attaching again, losing that family - over and over. So finally they don’t attach, and can be super friendly with total strangers but really distant with their adoptive family.
Some RAD kids were also diagnosed with ODD. Just a different perspective on this subject - our daughter is fine and now a mom and a really good one, at that. :-)
