New edition of psychiatry manual pushes more 'invented victims' of fabricated diseases
(NaturalNews) The latest edition of the psychiatry industry's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
Fifth Edition (DSM-V), which is set for publication in May 2013, is
expected to contain the most sweeping reclassification of essentially
all human conditions, feelings, and emotions as mental disorders, based
on official manuscripts recently approved by the
American Psychiatric Association (APA). And what this portends for the future of society and the medical
treatment of normal human behaviors is chilling, that is if the
fraudulent document is even taken seriously.
As reported by Barbara Kay over at the
National Post,
DSM-V casts aside all reason by typifying many common behaviors and
emotional states as mental disorders, which of course will be used as an
excuse to push more pharmaceutical drugs on the masses as "cures."
So-called "generalized anxiety disorder" (GAD), for instance, which used
to categorize only anxieties without a specific cause, will soon be
expanded to include common anxieties that stem from known turmoils such
as financial instability, domestic problems, or heavy school workloads,
for example.
Other normal human behaviors to be reclassified as
mental disorders in DSM-V include things like child temper tantrums, or
what DSM-V refers to as "Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder," and
"Major Depressive Disorder," the new made-up name for normal feelings of
grief following the loss of a loved one. These and many other fantasy
health conditions will all be included in
DSM-V as mental conditions that require synthetic drug interventions in order to effectively treat, according to the industry.
"It
seems that every DSM upgrade contains more and more 'disorders' that
are open to question for their vagueness and open-endedness," writes
Kay, noting that psychiatrists really hold no special authority when it
comes to pinpointing whether or not human conditions are truly mental
disorders anyway. She also heavily quotes the work of Dr. Tana Dineen, a
psychologist who witnessed first-hand the corruption of an industry
that she says tends to "translate all of life into a myriad of abuses,
addictions and traumas."
Popular psychologist urges profession to ignore DSM-VDr.
Allen Frances, M.D., a psychiatrist himself, is actually urging the
psychiatry profession to ignore DSM-V, as he says it is a "deeply
flawed" disaster of a guide filled with "many changes that seem clearly
unsafe and scientifically unsound." Among these changes, he writes for
Psychology Today,
are all the new "fad diagnoses" that have no grounding in reality. Dr.
Frances also calls out the very motives behind DSM-V's publishing, which
he says are questionable because of the "financial conflict[s] of
interest" between those who worked on the manual and the pharmaceutical
industry.
No matter how you look at it, DSM-V is a complete disaster scientifically speaking, as is the entity commonly known as the
psychiatry profession. Dr. Dineen actually refers to the general practice of psychology in her book
Manufacturing Victims: What the Psychology Industry is Doing to People,
as "big business," and claims "[i]t is simply no longer accurate to
speak of it as a science and it is unscrupulously misleading to call it a
profession." And based on the outlandish additions to DSM-V, this
appears to be a more than accurate assessment of this clearly
exploitative industry.
