[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] here's why you cannot have doctors taking away people's rights without at minimum court hearing awith least two doctors and being represetned by a lawyer, - everybody is a candidate to be the conductor on the crazy train these days because it's so damn profitable to diagnose psychiatric disorders and of course prescribe drugs to treat it....... [b]Psychiatry's New Diagnostic Manual: "Don't Buy It. Don't Use It. Don't Teach It." That's what psychiatrist Allen Frances, chair of the DSM-IV task force, has to say about DSM-5. —By Michael Mechanic | Tue May. 14, 2013 3:00 AM PDT Mother Jones: What you mean by "saving normal"? Allen Frances: There's been a rapid diagnostic inflation over the course of the last 35 years, turning problems of everyday life into mental disorders resulting in excessive treatment with medication. Pretty soon everyone's going to have a mental disorder or two or three, and it's time we reconsider how we want to define this and whether the definitions should be in the hands of the drug companies, which is very much what's happened in recent years. MJ: To what degree has this trend accelerated lately? AF: We were very, very conservative in doing DSM-IV, which came out in 1994. Despite our efforts to tame diagnostic inflation, the rates of attention deficit disorder (ADD and ADHD) have tripled, the rate of autism increased by almost 40 times. The rate of childhood bipolar disorder increased by 40 times. And the rate of adult bipolar disorder doubled. A lot of this was driven by the drug companies. They had new products on patent—very expensive; it gave them the means and the methods to spread the message to doctors and patients that mental disorders were easily diagnosed, often missed, caused by chemical imbalance, and treated with an expensive pill.[/b] [URL=http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/psychiatry-allen-frances-saving-normal-dsm-5-controversy?page=1]http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/psychiatry-allen-frances-saving-norm al-dsm-5-controversy?page=1[/URL] quite a few of these mass shooters have been on prescritption drugs too... BTW? if you are not responsible enough t own a gun? you aren't repsonsible, and can't be trusted to drive car or anything else either.
