With the publication of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual, 5th edition in 2013, used by clinicians, researchers, drug regulation agencies, health insurance and pharmaceutical companies, the legal system and various UN so-called health organizations, Obama and the American Psychiatric Association have joined hands to declared war on America. This latest edition constitutes a subjective approach to diagnosing mental illness in that it promises to end free speech and any form of political dissent.
Be advised that you must give careful consideration of how you answer your “ObamaCare” questions or what information you willingly share with your doctor because this new partnership between the shrinks and the lefties has turned every normal emotion and belief into a mental condition that makes you a prime candidate for unnecessary prescriptions of mind altering antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs or worse.
Have you spent the last 6 months worrying about your personal medical issues? Then you’re suffering from Somatic Symptom Disorder. Have you experienced intense sorrow and emotional pain with the loss of a love one lasting 6 months or more? Then you are suffering from Adjustment Disorder or Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder, or both. Do you spend too much time shopping? Then you probably have Compulsive Shopping Disorder. Never saw a doughnut you could pass up? Perhaps you are a compulsive eater with Binge Eating Disorder
Do you have a difficult time with multiplication? Then you have Dyscalculia. Do you spend too much time working out at the gym? You’d better see someone for your Bigorexia or Muscle Dysmorphia. Does the number 13 freak you out? You could have Triskaidekaphobia. If you’re shy you suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder. Are you a returning veteran? Then you absolutely have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Perhaps the most disturbing is that spending too much time on the internet means you’re addicted and thus mentally unstable. Don’t believe what the government tells you? Belong to a Tea Party or Patriot Group? Do you have “paranoid ideation” about government and frequently express these ‘delusions’ on the internet? You have Oppositional Defiant Disorder. These groups are the most dangerous to the government according to the shrinks and lefties, because they would be among the first to oppose a martial law crackdown.
These new disorders have the shrinks seeing green and the lefties seeing a disarmed America. Don’t forget that in 2014 Obama proposed new gun regulations that said anyone diagnosed with a mental illness [fake or otherwise], or anyone that could be potentially diagnosed with a mental illness [fake or otherwise], or anyone who is voluntarily or involuntarily committed to a mental institution, could have their guns confiscated. And as Joe Biden so aptly reminded us, confiscation would be simple since the government could force states to violate HIPPA privacy regulations and report anyone treated for mental illness [fake or otherwise]. And lest we forget, violating the HIPPA privacy law is mandatory under ObamaCare.
In Obama’s eyes all mental illnesses are created equal. A person with a phobia is just as dangerous as a sociopath. This is the new Soviet style political schizophrenia. What Obama is doing comes straight out of “The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen, 1958. Goal 38 of the 46 goals of the Communist Party in America is to “treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrics can understand or treat.”
Anyone want to bet that Christians will be next?
“Psychiatric incarceration of mentally healthy people is uniformly understood to be a particularly pernicious form of repression, because it uses the powerful modalities of medicine as tools of punishment, and compounds a deep affront to human rights with deception and fraud.” The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law, in its analysis of the political abuse of psychiatry in both the Soviet Union and China
