Yep. And a great way to control political dissidents. Your reservation, room for one, in the Gulag is confirmed. No smoking. No pool. No pets.

On one hand, we have this. On the other, we have a psychological community that considers caffeine withdrawal a mental health disorder, but considers homosexuality normal.

I guess Palin Derangement Syndrome, Bush Derangement Syndrome, and being registered as a Democrat are now classified in the DSM-IV?

According to the article, they are now including smoking (tobacco of course, not pot).

That means one of the Obamas is mentally ill. Is it Barack or Michelle?

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.

Essentially yes.
Have you noticed, when approaching/appealing authority, that if you are dispassionate your cause is obviously unimportant — because you have no attachment — but if you show emotion then you're obviously you cannot have a rational case.

When the American Psychiatric Association classifies EVERYTHING as mental illness, the figure seems incredibly low. Anxiety and stress are APA classified while everyone else calls them......life.

Liberals are NOT 50%.
2012 was Won by solid dem/lib vote, uncountered fraud and sit at home purists.

What a pathetic joke.

So the goal is to designate everyone as mental defectives and limit their liberties.

They want zombies.

They want the legal power to lock up anyone who presents a problem.

Challenge your overlords and show a bit of high emotion while doing so; well that man is obviously mentally unstable.

If you are a conservative and happen to shed a tear at your mother’s funeral; well we your overlords noticed and marked it down for future reference because you definitely should not own firearms because you are unstable.

For the Progressive the law is a tool to control the masses. The Progressives have seen that the second amendment is an impediment to total control of the masses. Well if law can constrain those who should wield power then law shall be the means to constrain those who will not yield to those who would rule.

Its a restatement of what has always been the case among all populations since the beginning of man.

Most mental illnesses are neither dangerous, incapacitating, nor permanent.

Law enforcement, the judiciary, legislators, and liberal pundits are no more free from dealing with mental issues than anyone else.

That’s the whole point of being able to confiscate somebody’s guns if he’s judged “mentally ill”.

In my younger years I worked with many that were from behind the Iron Curtain. The job sucked and I stayed way to long, but I look back now on it and the gem I take away from it was what I learned from these folks. And one of those things is how the USSR used Psychiatry as a Political Weapon against those who were resisting Statism. Can one see history maybe not repeating itself but at least rhyming here? If you go there then one may ask why were they so intent on all medical records in a centralized database at their disposal and subject to Siblius's "shall issue" power?

No those people are called autistic or anhedonics or introverts and there is a pill to treat them too. So nobody escapes getting their soma.
