Re: Psychiatry goes insane! Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5
I agree with them being a mental disorder
Think about this...
The mind when is calm and in peace is able to create a certain situation or an approach to one in a more logic way which leads to a good result
now
add emotions, this calm and peaceful mind becomes clouded, a dense fog that feeds a thought and/or reaction.
then you're fucked, gg, im high...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21565341


I'll say it again, do you REALLY want THEM telling you what a disorder is? Or do you want to be able to control that on your own? Simple question.
No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds.

Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God.

If nothing else, remember this: religion = subservience, control and conformity, the same template as EVERY government

"Most believers would kill truth if truth threatened their religion." L. K. Washburn

"This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." Robert Ingersoll

"If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy."

Re: Psychiatry goes insane! Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5
Well, they are right in a way, in that anything besides a calm mind totally clear of thoughts is an unstable state of mind which leads to suffering through want or lack of want, and thus is undesirable. However, medicine is not really the answer for everything.

Thoughts do not equal an unstable mind.
 Quoting: Nika


If you are not your true self, then is your mind truly stable?

Anyone who is not enlightened is not truly him/herself, and enlightenment is really a state of mind. Hence, if you are not enlightened, then your mind is not in its perfect state, and therefore can never really be absolutely stable.

Psychiatric medicine is not really the answer though (except in some cases), because they simply numb the symptom without curing the disease. Just my $0.02

Re: Psychiatry goes insane! Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5
I am embarrassed for my profession. I am a family doc.

I have seen some truly messed up people. Had a guy 2 weeks ago tell me he was hearing voices (but only in his right ear). He told me "last night, 2 demon angles came down and ripped my wings off....and it still hurts in my back". He is known to me as a bipolar person....I think he had a manic episode with psychotic features.

But this new DSM is just messed up. There are folks who truly do have mental health issues....and then there are folks who are just responding appropriately to their environment

Re: Psychiatry goes insane! Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5
When my mother died very unexpectedly, I was extremely grief-stricken. I wanted to be with her. I wasn't quite suicidal, but I wanted the world to end so I could be with her. I made the mistake of going to talk to my doctor and getting a referral to a grief therapist. Now, my permanent medical record says I suffer from depression. Because I was sad my mother died when I was 28 years old, I'm now clinically depressed according to them. God forbid I went to see a psychiatrist. They would have a field day with me. Sadness over a death, anxiety over finances... watch out! I'm a PSYCHO MESS!

From the esteemed science which brought us drapetomania (a supposed mental illness described by American physician Samuel A. Cartwright in 1851 that caused black slaves to flee captivity.)

Re: Psychiatry goes insane! Every human emotion now classified as a mental disorder in new psychiatric manual DSM-5
Don't listen to their psycho-babble. The majority of people can handle their own humanly emotions without the need for treatment & meds. Nature intended it that way. Emotions serve a purpose. Don't trust these psychopaths.

I've only gone to a psychologist/psychiatrist twice: once to get a job (part of the screening process) & several years later to go back to work after a 3 month leave involving a very difficult grieving period.

I really question the type of people that go into that field. It seems that many of the people that do have deep-seated problems themselves & are attracted to the field to solve their own problems.

In the screening to get the job the psychiatrist left the room & said he'd be right back. While he was gone his phone rang. When he came back in he said, "I heard my phone ringing. Why didn't you answer it?"

I was already irritated & fed up with him so I said, "Answer your own damn phone! I'm not your employee or slave!" He didn't answer & just wrote something in his notes. At another point in the interview he asked me a very bizarre question to which I responded, "That's a stupid question & I'm not even going to grace it with an answer."

I wrote off the job & was really surprised when I learned I had passed and did get the job! Go figure!

The second time I had to go to one to return to the job didn't go much better. His first question was, "Did you feel any sadness when he died?" WTH??? His next statement was, "No one is worth what you put yourself through." My answer: "You wouldn't be but he was!"

The people in this field are so out of reality themselves. They should not have the power over people that they do! I'm usually not such a rude person but both of these psychopaths had me raging!

Stay away from psychiatrists/psychologists! They are crazy! I'll never go again even if it means my job.

this is all about money.

If psychiatrists can classify you are officially in need of treatment, they can get reimbursed for treating you, it's a big medicare and social security scam. All old people go mentally bonkers, it's called 'senility', they all get depressed.

Yes, and what's sad is that so many old folks are in homes instead of being taken in by their families. They are like sitting ducks.

Many are just depressed because they feel purposeless & not needed. That & all the drugs that their M.D.s have them on already and they fact they are less active..

It seemed when old people were cared for by their families instead of being shipped off to a home they remained more active helping around the house & felt more purpose. They weathered growing old better.

It gets worse and worse every day...especially when every political section you fall in to is a mental illness.

That means what ever you register under Dem or what ever you have been tagged labeled one effected brain or another.

And we do so deliciously love to target what we tagged.

The nobody is the best for anybody in this day and time.

even your states are color coded this mentality or that mentality.

Might as well take a branding iron and sear their foreheads.

Or wring the mind out of them and refill it the preferred one.

Wringing can be excruciating when it is applied in a non physical way.

I wonder how many of these disorders will now be eligible for Social Security Disability?
It is amazing the list of things they say make you disabled. Meanwhile my husband, who was recently diagnosed with a fatal, debilitating disease has been waiting since August to hear from Social Security and I am pretty sure was denied.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26483554



Check out that link and see if his disabilty falls under one of those definitions. I work with applications a lot and the ones that get denied is when the SSA figures the person is still able to work. I can't quote or say exactly how they figure it out because the decsion is made by their panel. Goiod luck.

Example from DSM online :




Psychiatric Disorders


-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------



Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)



Category


-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

Anxiety Disorders



Etiology


-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

Often anxiety gets generalized to other situations, and can then become overwhelming or associated with life in general. Typically GAD develops over a period of time and may not be noticed until it is significant enough to cause problems with functioning.



Symptoms


-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

As its name implies, GAD is evidenced by general feelings of anxiety such as mild heart palpitations, dizziness, and excessive worry. The symptoms are difficult to control for the individual and are not related to a specific event (such as in PTSD) and are not as severe as those found with Panic Disorder.

ah..'equilibrium' within the individual (due to pressures that promote conformity). Emotions and passion facilitate the expression and enrichment of our unique perspectives. I agree that there is so much more to be gained (within and between individuals) when we embrace our differences, emotions, the uniqueness of our perspectives, and choose to embrace the authentic beauty of ourselves (and others).

Excited? Not normal.
Something has you worried or scared? Not normal.
Stressful times? Not normal.
A little leary of your government? Then you definately are mental and should seek psychiatric help asap!

In their eyes, Feelings = mental disorder......you are not normal and need medication!
