Cited by Klein and Fairbairn, the author itself is mentioned in Lacan's Écrits. Take a dive into the history of object relations with Ed Glover's paper on ego nuclei.

I found this recent and interesting study published in the lancet: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(16)30165-1/abstract

The study argues that transgender identity shouldn't be classified as "mental illness" because the distress and dysfunction were mostly due to social rejection rather than being transgender per se.

However, I wonder what the study say about gender dysphoria. Does the study indirectly say that gender dysphoria doesn't exist (the distress being connected to social rejection) or do they distinguish "transgender identity" from "gender dysphoria" (like what the DSM do) and say that dysphoria can cause distress?

we already classify by symptom, and an emerging work is working towards classification by neurobiological aetiology, but how about something more useful for patients than clinicians and researchers?

categorising of mental disorders by the degree of similarity of cognition-based treatment for instance, ptsd and ocd and treated with ERP therapy, one for dealing with the past, one for the future - they can be classified as intrusive

comparably, CBT treated disorders can be thought of as distorting disorders

importantly, non-stigmatising terms ought to be used, instead of instrusive and distorting, which are working terms

Hello third wives -

I spent 2 hours today finding and documenting all the medical and mental disorders tricia has claimed to have. Please click this link to view the entire document of what I have so far.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD - PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST OR MESSAGE ME SO I CAN ADD IT. I have also been putting sources with all of my findings - so if you could include that as well that would be AMAZING!

Edit : spellcheck & fixed link

Like if I had adhd or bipolar or anything else, I’m sure life would be still hard but I wouldn’t be ashamed of my mental disorder as much as I am now. Does that make sense?

My picks would include Taxi Driver, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Memento. And on a lighter, more underrated film, Park Chank-Wook's I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay. What are some your choices? Please elaborate why if possible.

A lot of people nowadays claim they have a mental health disorder just by relating themselves to a symptom, how easy are people to jump into conclusions? I think the main reason for this stems to the fact that people want to feel included or rather be pitied. I feel as though no one is neurotypical in this day and age. Not trying to belittle anyone, I know some people are really suffering, but for some they make their problems bigger than they are and hold on to them.

I don't make this to offend anyone. I really don't have an opinion on whether it's either way. But I've seen a lot of this stuff kinda pop up as I grew up. Binaries, gender norms, gendered clothing?, and all these new pronouns and stuff.

I'm just not sure. I can wrap my head around AGAB and how that could be something more than a chemical imbalance in the brain. A lot of this other stuff kinda boggles my mind.

Of course my understanding does NOT determine the legitimacy. And I do my best to respect people. I believe in love over all things. I will call anybody whatever they tell me to call them.

But sometimes I worry that we're completely mind-fucking an entire generation, and we will never recover.

I have a mental disorder, I can’t think of any other way to describe it that doesn’t minimize the the suffering it causes. There’s nothing wrong with having a mental disorder, and destigmatization is important, but being all like “but there’s nothing wrong with me” doesn’t help anyone with GD. If there was nothing wrong we wouldn’t need medical treatment, which we do.
