Anger is not an illness
« on: February 22, 2010, 01:07:02 PM »
Another article on the abuse of defining new "mental conditions" into existence, in order to justify "treatments" and drugs for them.

I'm waiting for the day that entire population is diagnosed with Psychodrivel Intolerance Syndrome with the result that legislation will be passed requiring every person to take a Ritalin pill for the rest of their lives.

Opsec, I'm willing to bet you have Sensory Processing Disorder.  Almost everyone has it. 

Is there any food texture that you either love or hate?  Do tags in clothing irritate you?  Do you prefer to sleep with socks off, or with a blanket on?  This is just a small sampling of the signs of it. 

Do you ever feel restless?  Might mean that your sense of movement is undersensitive and so you need more of it to feel at peace.

I think they will eventually discover that the dreaded Cerebral/Rectal Inversion disease is running rampant among the population of Psychiatric professionals, kind of like AIDS is among the homosexual population.

Of course the not so hidden agenda of the "Psychiatrists....defining new disorders and creating more and more subcategories..." is absurd.


But regarding anger, in a wierd sort of way, the classical chinese references on health actually agree it is an illness.  Within the 5 organ system, anger is associated with an energy imbalance within the liver energy system and as such, expressions of anger are deemed to be a manifestation of that illness.  Some beleive expressing anger will harm the liver.  But they go a step further and say if you are expressing anger it is because you are already ill.  Physically.  Of course they are not making millions on drug sales but are promoting qi gong movements, meditations and herbs that are probably growing in your yard already (dandelion and chicory anyone?).

As an aside, it is noteworthy how the pysch industry successfully hijacked the realm of what prior to implementing their strategy was firmly in the spiritual domain.  Now you need a highly paid doctor instead of a "priest".
Wise selfishness is taking care of everyone else so that they don't bring harm to you.

More and more “psychiatric diseases” are appearing in the literature all the time, and many could be considered “lifestyle disorders:”

Do you shop too much? You might have Compulsive Shopping Disorder.

Do you have a difficult time with multiplication? You could be suffering from Dyscalculia.

Do you tend to overdo the lattes and then can’t sleep at night? You might have Caffeine-Induced Sleep Disorder. But take care not to go off that coffee too quickly, lest you end up with Caffeine Withdrawal Disorder.

Can’t get along with your brother or sister? It might be Sibling Rivalry Disorder.

Spending too much time surfing the Web? It might be Internet Addiction Disorder.

Spending too much time at the gym? You’d better see someone for your Bigorexia or Muscle Dysmorphia.

And my favorite -- are your terrified by the number 13? You could have Triskaidekaphobia!

You get the idea.

Point is, each of these new “diseases” gets added to the next edition of the official Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) if enough people show up with those traits. And increasingly, the criteria for inclusion involves whether or not the disorder responds to a category of drugs.

If it does, the phenomenon is dubbed a disease.

Of the 297 mental disorders described in the DSM, none can be objectively measured by empirical tests. In other words, they’re subjective. Mental illness symptoms within this manual are arbitrarily assigned by a subjective voting system by a psychiatric panel.[vii]

So, they’re making diseases to fit the drugs -- not the other way around!

It’s almost impossible to see a psychiatrist today without being diagnosed with a mental disorder because so many behavior variations are described as pathology. And you have a 99 percent chance of emerging from your psychiatrist’s office with a prescription in your hand.

It's from Dr Mercola's e-mail newsletter.  I don't have a link.
