Are you a non-conformist? Disagree with the government? According to the new DSM, you suffer from ODD - "oppositional defiant disorder." Prepare for treatment.

    The USSR often used such "disorder" assessments to confine and "reeducate" those who objected to government oppressiveness. Such an assessment would be handy if a government wanted to claim someone was mentally unsuited to own a firearm. It is, after all, about control.

    Psychiatrists and psychologists are practicing a non-science. They love conformity in the masses, and have long been used by governments to label and confine those who fail to fall in line.
    I once told a psy. professor who had just come out of drug rehab that he would be replacde by a neuroendocrinologist one day - he did not take it well. The Russians said to put as many people as possible under the care of psychologists, but not good ones. Did anyone ever notice most psychologists are in therapy, and usually have messed up home lives?

    They will do anything to make us question our motives and fall back in the bread line. What we are experiencing is worse than a dictatorship because they sell it as good for you. Most dictators just say do or I will hang you!

    I grew up in a "looking good family" and as an "artistic-type" was doomed to never fit their mold. Maybe I was being prepared for such a time as this?

    Ok, so some moron got a Ph.D. thesis out of this unimaginably stupid concept. Good for them. The free market rewards fools, too.

    I am a non-conformist. I disagree with the government. But I will not suffer to be named with such a disorder. And I will never subject myself to treatment (sorcery, read: psychotropic drugs).

    I have a secret to tell you all. My wife worked for the state mental hospital for 18 1/2 years and she tells the story of how when I came along she felt she could leave that place without being able to take care of herself and 3 children. I just tell people now you know where she found, found, found me. All hail!!!!!

        Its was a joke, but yeah maybe I should have been admitted. She left her job because they were admitting hard line criminals instead of people with mental problems. She felt safe because I gave her hope.

            The last criminal they brought in before she left came in with handcuffs and shackles. His quote to the staff was " I do not want to be here and the only way out is to kill someone". Working with the mental ill was a breeze because she had worked there as I said for 18 1/2 years, but working with a criminal of that stature was in a different league. This is not the only reason they closed those hospitals, but it did not help. With the mental ill you could ward off things that were about to happen. With the criminal aspect they had the upper hand and knew it. It was not that she could not do her job she felt she never had a man that would affirm the fact that it was okay for her to quit before it got real bad. She has since became a Armed Secured Truck Driver right along side me and it has been almost 20 years for her. Sad fact is Michigan has closed most of those hospitals and the people that resided there were put into halfway homes. That's what happens when unions are left to abuse the system and especially in Michigan.

    If you're called a non-conformist, you know that you are truly human. Conformists are ants, bees, bison and herd animals. Only humans have volition. Only humans can choose to think or not to think. This is what makes them who and what they are. Conformists for the most part have given up choosing and just do what the other lemmings do. That doesn't mean you must act or dress strangely to be a non-conformist, unless you are impressed by surface things only. A true conformist, to me, is less than human.

    Isn't that "ODD"? I thought I just thought I didn't like authoritarian types telling me what to do most of my life. The older I get, the more I realize that most authority types have an equally debilitating disorder, inferiority complex. That this diagnosis, ODD, made it into the DSM does not surprise me. Think of who writes the DSM and you'll understand what I mean. How many of them are on the government grant wagon? 'Nuff said.
