Another Psychiatric Advancement

[moi621 (imported)]

Psychiatry take another positive leap for mental health.

It has been declared Asperger's does not exist.

What does exist is DMDD in the upcoming APA manual, to be released in May '13.

And one does not want to go against the American Psychiatric Manual and be declared . . .

DMDD what's it all about?

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder of course.

Now that they can be properly termed, meaningful treatments must be forthcoming, huh?

I wonder if the same pharmaceutical company that makes those diabetogenic psychiatric pills also sell Diabetes pills.

Wouldn't that be a hoot.

Stay tuned for more advances by the American Psychiatric Association.

The APA motto:

There are none so in need of psychiatry and diagnosis with lots of treatment

as those who believe themselves normal.

Moi

is safe

This is fantastic P; Encyclopedia dramatica reffered to asperger's syndrome as assburger's syndrome.

The problem amongst those I know and my own neurological shortcomings -

NO one is going to fit into this description or that among all the dyslexia, attention deficit, hyperactive, and various combinations persons.

It would be better to define the individuals shortcomings and strengths rather then work on a one label fits anything similar.

To the extent possible, I support environmental support. Example.

Any time a I see a picture of a Child Psychiatry ward, there are bright glossy reflective walls and floors. Nothing green.

Nothing natural. The structure seems to echo sound creating excessive noise rather then letting it dissipate.

How unnatural an environment for a child. How many weeks of that before any kid goes bonkers.

And how many times do you read of such a child connecting with animals. Like a kid who came out of their shell over a neighbor's chickens.

How much psychiatric illness represents a biological inability to deal with an unnatural environment full of sounds, vibrations, lights beyond simple illumination.

Oh

and maybe DMDD, Aesperger's, ADHD should simply NOT be defined, rather strengths and weaknesses described.

Don't Blame Me, It's My Neurology.

No worries Moi, in times of distress smoke up a duby. They prescribe ADHD kids with marijuana in california you know. I researched it a while back.

If I ever attend a MOM we have to smoke some. I think River would appreciate our calmness while on the stuff. I get rowdy, fidgety and wont stay still, incessantly annoying, go off on tangents and segway my conversations otherwise LMAO

Are they saying it doesn't exist Moi or just that it's not a disability or mental illness?

Someone who I strongly suspect has Asperger's got fired from my work recently. Part of the reason they fired him was the way he spoke to people and part was his overconfidence in doing things he really didn't understand.

He made my life, and others', an absolute nightmare but I do think if there had been an understanding of his personality he could have fit in somewhere. He had a lot of focus and he was meticulous in a lot of aspects, he just needed a bit of a reign on what he did. I wonder if the stigma behind calling it a "mental illness" (when it's just a different way of thinking) is offset by the protections in the workplace? As you've said there are strengths and weaknesses and the most dangerous person is one who doesn't think they have any problems but if an employer doesn't have to cope with something they generally won't?

I think the movie about Tempe Grandin was one of the most difficult - as a parent - that I have ever watched. There were a few times I wanted to leave. But ultimately it was infinitely rewarding and a good reminder that the world is not going to change much for the better with us regular slugs. We need someone who looks at things differently to advance.

I believe aspberger's was diagnosed as an assortment of other mental issues. not all bubbled into one single headline. this is what Moi was trying to imply. I know so many people from highschool who used the excuse of having asperger's to get away with crap and also used it as an excuse to show lack of ethic and empathy towards others.

I see this with Adrian Lamo, for example and I'll keep it brief, guy is a lying sack of turd. Even the entire anon-ops believe he's full of crap.There's even an interview a yr before his one done with regards to bradley and his dialect was totally fine and non slurred. Me thinks the gov'n drugged him up to fabricate a good cover up.

You guys can think otherwise I don't care and I'm fine with being labelled a "conspiracy theorist" but honestly guys don't believe everything you see from the media. especially a source as disdainful as FOX NEWS.

Especially from an Ex criminal, he certainly has a lot at stake to keep his own hide safe.

May his concious haunt him for exposing.... cough.....snitching on bradley.

I agree however with most here that Manning should have never contacted this scum. An he'll have to pay for his immature transgressions.(life is unfair) But then again he is an overgrown child. I often shame in disgust with the lack of empathy many here have towards him. Hmmm....his documents did nothing to harm the US. But it strangely amuses me how most of you guys are fine with a non transparent government fucking you guys from behind and yearning for more.

I guess it is true the individual is smart but the populace as a whole is dangerous to themselves and as dumb as rocks."nods"

I thank you for this insight fhunter

My ADHD was diagnosed as a mixed type, a very strong one at that, but it wasn't on the basis of self diagnosis. I actually had 2 proffesors get driven mad by my constant interjection and fidgetness in class. There was a day when i brought in some stinky salmon and we all had to move to another class bc apparently the stuff reeked like mad (i was indifferent:D to it and could not notice this) but you see I do show lack of common sense many many times aswell

Why can't there be a diagnosis for the sweet quiet complient cautious and careful child that get's neglected and is also picked on by aggressive peers searching for a reaction, and that also never gets injuries which further draws less attention. And that's not techniquely female.
