Most mental disorders are fake

Our society has gone wild with diagnosing people with a bunch of fake disorders.

Pretty much anyone who is socially awkward nowadays is diagnosed with having asperger's, by the millions of dipshit psychologists who handle this sort of thing.

If it isn't connected with a real psychological or physical defect, then that person does not have a disorder.

Psychologists have to stop labelling every retard with some kind of disorder. Same goes with every other person who does not fit into the box of conformed expectations.

Any evidence to support this?

Bi0Hazard: Just look around you.

If you are socially awkward then you pretty much meet the diagnosis criteria for asperger's.

Crow: Looking around me isn't evidence of this.
Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older or about one in four adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.

This is what you mean?

Bi0Hazard: Well even that site says that diagnosis is common but the main burden is 6%,.

You will find a plethora of negative opinions on how many are diagnosed with mental illnesses in this country.

Most of these mental illnesses are made up to give name to a new kind of "different"

Maybe these people have actual, disorders. A more rational way to look at it is that the number of people with mental health illnesses have actually increased.

Famousdebater: Obviously it has increased, but only because of false diagnosing.

If a kid fidgets with a pencil in school, they prescribe him with ADHD medication.

Crow: Why do you buy the "fake diagnosing" theory over the simple theory that there has been an increase in children with these mental disorders (who have been called properly diagnosed)?

Crow: Ignore the "called" in my previous post.

Famousdebater: I have tourettes.

I have encountered countless "educated" doctors. All it takes for a diagnosis is an opinion written on paper.

I got falsely diagnosed and prescribed medication for years. It screwed me over, because it actually made my tourettes worst.

Crow: Your post doesn't make sense. You make the claim that you have tourettes and that you were falsely diagnosed in the same post.
