Default ( OT ) Conservatives Push for Psychiatric Diagnosis of 'Loony Leftists'

http://swiftreport.blogs.com/news/20...vatives_p.html

NEW YORK, NY—When Zacharia Goodman recently sought out the help of a
therapist, it was no mystery as to what was ailing him. The 27-year-old
copy editor was so consumed by his belief that President George W. Bush
stole the recent election that he was having trouble sleeping,
completing rudimentary tasks at work, and carrying on conversations
about topics not related to politics.

The therapist he consulted wrote Goodman a prescription for the social
anxiety drug Paxil and encouraged him to spend less time reading
left-wing blogs and listening to Air America.

This particular story has a happy ending; Goodman admits that he's
already far less irritating to be around than he was just a few weeks
ago. But countless paranoids just like him may be going untreated, say
mental health professionals. The reason: the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM presently excludes political paranoia
from its 933 pages of symptoms, diagnoses and treatment recommendations.

Take the self test
