Here’s what they will do. Along with socialist medicine. We already have electronic records. No guns for you. I guess the psychiatrists could make the diagnosis with social media posts.

“Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is defined by the DSM-5 as “a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months as evidenced by at least four symptoms from any of the [defined] categories and exhibited during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling”.[1]Unlike children with conduct disorder (CD), children with oppositional defiant disorder are not aggressive towards people or animals, do not destroy property, and do not show a pattern of theft or deceit.[2] A diagnosis of ODD cannot be given if the child presents with conduct disorder.[3]”

Signs and symptoms

“The fourth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) (now replaced by DSM-5) stated that the child must exhibit four out of the eight signs and symptoms to meet the diagnostic threshold for oppositional defiant disorder.[3] Furthermore, they must be perpetuated for longer than six months and must be considered beyond normal child behavior to fit the diagnosis.[4] Signs and symptoms were: actively refuses to comply with majority’s requests or consensus-supported rules;[5] performs actions deliberately to annoy others;[5] is angry and resentful of others;[4] argues often;[4] blames others for their own mistakes;[6]frequently loses temper;[6] is spiteful or seeks revenge;[6] and is touchy or easily annoyed.[6]”

Hmmm. Since I have no social media posts other than here I guess I would be classified as anti-social then. LOL!
