The DSM is dysfuntional

Another meaningless study to prove the obvious has just been released showing that obese young people who underwent bariatric surgery lose more weight than teens who just diet and exercise, 77 lbs vs. 7 lbs. Who could have guessed that by blocking the passage to the stomach less food would be consumed?

Such a ridiculous waste of time, talent and money continues to be mimicked in the academia of psychology and psychiatry. The DSM has added new items to make up its 300 disorders. Poor Patton and his ilk would now be diagnosed with a “temper dysregulation disorder with dysphoria.” Already 1 in 110 children have been diagnosed and cursed with “autism spectrum disorder.”

Wars could not have been won or worlds saved without men with short fuses like General Patton, but the obvious escapes elites with an agenda of medicated treatments. The less reason and common sense are employed, the more problems can be diagnosed and the more money can be allocated to their treatment. The proud, the few and the Marines made Patton proud, not ours today is a nation of drugged sissies.

Interesting point of view...in your view what exactly comprises "reason and common sense" in the field of psychiatry?
