I wonder if there is any correlation between the stupid opinions of psychiatrists and the fact their suicide rate is almost twice that of other physicians?

The statement supports same-sex marriage "in the interest of maintaining and promoting mental health." A few years ago, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. The scientific evidence to change this is non-existant. What happened? Political correctness and junk science got to them. Excuse me but these shrinks are crazy.

should be afforded the same human and civil rights What does psychiatry have to do with endorsement of purported human and civil rights?
To: dvan
They're nuts anyway.
They have no credibility in my book.
I don't care what they advocate.

Do they really think a group of socialist shrinks pushing for Homosexual Marraige will change our minds?

Don't they have the HIGHEST suicide rate?
I'd say there is a DIRECT correlation. They are troubled so they delve into psychology to figure themselves out and screw other people up.

The resolution recognizes "that gay men and lesbians are full human beings who should be afforded the same human and civil rights," said Margery Sved, a Raleigh, N.C., psychiatrist and member of the assembly's committee on gay and lesbian issues.
Maybe I missed it, but is anyone denying lesbians the right to marry a man just like any other woman, or male homosexuals the right to marry a woman just like any other man? Or is Ms Sved just repeating leftist propaganda?

"It follows a similar measure by the American Psychological Association last year, little more than three decades after that group removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders."
This is what happened..a survey was sent out to all shrinks who were associated with APA. The survey asked whether homosexuality should be removed from the list of mental disorders. About 15% of the shrinks returned their surveys and about 55% said sure why not.
Ok, its a little simplistic but thats how it all happened.

I'm a psychiatrist. I quit the American Psychiatric Association in 1994 because they repeatedly tooK leftist stances on most issues, without asK ing for in put from members or allowing alternative voices a stance.
No leftist organization is ever reformed from within.
Good Riddance.

Most psychiatrists go into this field because they are such a mental mess and they think they will find some help for themselves. I could not agree with you more.

Seeing as how the APA is infiltrated with Homosexuals, Pedophiles and their sympathizers I wouldn't believe anything they supported.

I'm not sure we needed more proof that psychiatrists enter the profession because they're mentally ill.

Ok, its a little simplistic but thats how it all happened.Well actually that's not what happened at all, but if you prefer to opine rather than to do the homework to find out what really happened, who am I to interfere.

"The statement supports same-sex marriage "in the interest of maintaining and promoting mental health."" . . . and lest anyone ever have any doubt as to what sanity is, it is what the APA says it is this year. Subject to change without notice. No deposit, no return. Warning! Mental health may be dangerous to your mental health. Use at your own risk. Undertaker's Lab approved.

I want pshchiaratrists to explain why 10 years ago they said it was a mental disorder. What else that their past leaders taught should now be considered utter nonsense?
