Is the movement to Classify ‘Liberalism’ as Mental Disorder Gains Steam?
When Zacharia Goodman recently sought out the help of a therapist, it was no mystery as to what was ailing him. The 27-year-old copy editor was so consumed by his belief that President George W. Bush stole the 2004 election that he was having trouble sleeping, completing rudimentary tasks at work, and carrying on conversations about topics not related to politics.
The therapist he consulted wrote Goodman a prescription for the social anxiety drug Paxil and encouraged him to spend less time reading left-wing Web logs and listening to Air America.
This particular story has a happy ending; Goodman admits that he’s already far less irritating to be around than he was just a few weeks ago. But countless paranoids just like him may be going untreated, say mental health professionals. The reason: the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM presently excludes political paranoia from its 933 pages of symptoms, diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
hahaha… I don’t think people that have trouble writing a simple sentence and then copying and pasting a “joke” should be talking about others having a “mental disorder”…
I bet you actually believe that story that you got in an e-mail too… don’t you? hahahaa… there is no end to conservative gullibility…
