Psychiatry is a pseudoscience at best. They don't have one single cure in their short history and vote on putting diseases in the DSM by show of hand (ex: By show of hands, is ADHD an illness?). These people try to cure people from basic human behavior and I find that sad. There is not one lab test they have to prove someone has a "chemical imbalance". You people give up your children to the psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies for the latter to profit, NOT the childrens health. Just because a human has a behavior that is unacceptable doesn't make them mentally ill. Just to put this in perspective for you, psychiatrists have 1,000,000,000 patients. Thats a billion. If the DSM was based on science, everyone on the planet would be mentally ill and not one cure would be available for them, only chemical "treatment". I propose you all take responsibility for your social actions and behavior. "Normal" is relative.
