Found a very eye-opening video on YouTube, it shows us how the supposedly "scientific community" has often been the "pseudo-moralistic" community mandating what they think "normal" is...
The disorders listed in the APA's, American Psychiatric Association's, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM) diagnosed according to behavior criteria. This effectively makes the DSM a moral code or a book of laws.
If you violate these laws, you are labeled as mentally ill and forced into mental health treatment which can include drugs, electroshock therapy or involuntary commitment. As society's morals change, so does the definition of mental illness.
A Homosexual, gay or lesbian sex, was considered mentally ill until 1973. What changed? Is this the truth of science or moral opinion based on religion?
Thoughts?
