>> Psychiatry possesses an inherent capacity for abuse that is greater than in other areas of medicine.

emotions=moods? It is natural for people to get temporarily depressed over some life events or to get angry, etc. It seems as though they are redefining being human to mental illness. They want zombies.

AMERICAN LIBERALISM / EUROPEAN SOCIAL FABIANISM,
is a lifelong curse.

the only cure: rational thought/intelligent
thinking skills..(mentally) growing up
or getting mugged by one of their ilk.

The problem is the proliferation of mental health diagnoses. Basically, your personality is now just the manifestations of your various mental illnesses, and the only people judged “mentally healthy” are those too boring to have personalities.

CDC definition http://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/basics/mental-illness.htm

Mental Illness
Mental illnesses refer to disorders generally characterized by dysregulation of mood, thought, and/or behavior, as recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition, of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV). Mood disorders are among the most pervasive of all mental disorders and include major depression, in which the individual commonly reports feeling, for a time period of two weeks or more, sad or blue, uninterested in things previously of interest, psychomotor retardation or agitation, and increased or decreased appetite since the depressive episode ensued.
