What Are Mental Disorders? You Tell Me.

Postby Lurks » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:49 pm

Why some of these, like transgender or transvestite disorders, are considered disorders at all, escapes me. But, does changing the name of the real disorders, or lumping them all under one category diminish or change anything? Are they (the "mental health specialists") so intellectually disabled themselves that they have oversimplify everything? Is this another futile and questionable attempt to make our approach to emotional issues more PC?
