If everyone has some sort of disorder, then isn't not having a disorder the disorder?
What is normal
an empty universal
?
Everyone can be labeled as having a mental disorder because psychiatry is bullshit. That said, Timothy Leary's Interpersonal Circumplex had a section for "hypernormal" which might be the sort of thing you're thinking about (excessive normality as a disorder in itself).
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA LOOK MOM IM SO DEEEP I COULDNT JUST GOOGLE THIS DUMB FUCK QUESTION BECAUSE IM AN ATTENTION WHORING FAGGOT WHO WANTS TO FBE A PLIT TPOSTER EEEEEEEEEEEE I HATE YOU FUCKERS YOURE RUINING THE BOARD arhhghhh fucking kill yourself slowly and painfully, fucking commit harak irik uyou tigh
i think i saw that in a psychology course at one point. why do you think normality is not actually normal or good? is it because the people haven't been learning from their life circumstances and don't show that life has been changing their perspective or actions?
everyone who believes this is an angry teenager/extrapolated way too much out of the over diagnosis of adhd etc. There are real mental disorders, and they are characterized as such;
1. Being different from the social norm. this is the point you address in the op. if this was the only criteria, then your vague criticisms would make more sense.
2. Having impaired function. Basically meaning that you are unable to perform as well in certain situations as other, "normal" individuals.
3. The condition causes distress in the victim.
All 3 of these are absolutely required before a mental illness exists. Find me a mental illness without all 3 of these, or something that fits all 3 and you claim isnt a mental illness.
i have 2 ply toilet paper, so..
I don't think Timothy Leary necessarily thought it was bad to be normal so much as it denoted one of a variety of different personality styles different people have. Like instead of "normal" just being a neutral lack of features, he saw it more as an adaptive mechanism in itself.
okay what abut this example, studies show that 98% of people commit a crime before 21, that's against the taught norm or "good" so the norm then would be that you commit a crime before 21.So if studies claim this or that person commit a horrid crime because they started at a young age then you'd have to clarify the type of crime and further on because the norm is too commit crime, which makes it harder to pinpoint the characteristics and signs to look out for when it comes to serial killers.
