Is heterosexuality a disorder yet?
naaa...but you can sure as heck bet that Tea Partying is.....
I prefer to call it the "needs a butt whoopin and sent to bed without supper'" disorder. I certainly don't think it's a new condition.

Psychiatry was hijacked by the Left decades ago and stopped being scientific in the 70s.
I respect the goals of psychiatry, I have family members in the field, but there’s a LOT of junk science and bogus policies that are implemented because of Political Correctness.
According to them....we’re all nuts. The goal is to get everyone on meds.
I’m sure Dilip isn’t responsible for his name, but it seems a fitting wind-up for what looks more and more like a conference of clowns.
When it goes on nonstop for months something more might be the matter.
“Excessive desire to breed” or some such thing in a Malthusian world.
I'm watching a friend go through this crap...The kids 4. The therapy??? Just another type of headstart program with higher paid pros. What a scam !!
I’m sure Hoplophilia is in there somewhere....
Guess which specialty in medicine is least respected by other doctors? Also which medical specialty has the highest suicide rate? Go figure.
are these the same idiots who tried to say that sexual molestation didn’t do long term harm to a child?
liberaltarians??
I think there’s a thread somewhere in FReeperville regarding the Homosexual groups forcing homosexuality out of the old DSM-III back in the 70’s. It’s a good read. I might sound a lot like cap’n obvious but so many of these psychological descriptors are more political than medical, new age mumbo-jumbo. Forgive, if you know this, signed, an old “shrink”nurse.
“Is heterosexuality a disorder yet?”
Not yet, but conservatism probably is.
Obama’s picture in on the page where narcissism is discussed.
not chirporactors or acupuncturists?
no?... gotta be the shrinks, they all nuts
Did the Obama Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour Syndrome make it? Oh wait... there it is ,, under new political ailments right next to TEA Party voter.
Unfortunately there’s a lot of over-diagnosing of ADHD, but that has a lot more to do with the public school systems than psychiatry in general.
My sister originally wanted to be a guidance counselor, but she gave up the idea when she realized that essentially the School District could interfere with things, like forcing rambunctious children to be medicated.
She went to a private practice, and works according to her ethics and never regretted it.
