Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 http://www.pressbox.co.uk/detailed/Health/ Is Normal Now A Mental Illness? Is your child easily distracted? Or perhaps he talks excessively, or can become impatient? Most, if not all, parents would perhaps answer yes to these questions, as they are, what many of us believe to be, normal expressions of child behaviour. Not so, according to Psychiatry. It could be that your child has "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder", a "disease" of the mind that could require medical treatment. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM, version IV), the psychiatrist's handbook, lists a number of behavioural traits, such as these, that it considers abnormal in children. Others include: "often has difficulty awaiting turn", "often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly", and "often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly". 'It's total fraud', says Michael Westen, editor of Psychbusters, an online activist group. __________At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act....George Orwell "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity."...A general introduction to psychoanalysis: by Prof. Sigmund Freud "The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head.
