Disturbed Minds or Manual?
I was supposed to attend this taping (plus to others) on Sunday but due to the emotional garbage I was feeling I stayed at home and watched the live stream/chat of the tapings.
What I find totally amusing is that one of my comments from the live chat was put on the screen! So, even though I did not attend I still had my say for the whole of Canada to see! I rule!
Woot!
It is almost an hour long but it is very good!
Video Description: The upcoming 5th edition of the DSM is causing major debate in the psychiatric community. The Agenda examines how changes to the psychiatric “Bible” will create opportunities to diagnose people with mental disorders. Part of tvo’s Mental Health Matters series.

Excellent video!
This show, The Agenda, is really good! The hosts asks all the important questions! He doesn’t just stick to mainstream believes, he’ll go off and ask the questions that make certain people very uncomfortable!
I like the guy who “hears voices” but doesn’t seem to have a problem with living like that.
That’s possibly my favourite part! I follow a group on Twitter that believes the same. Even with myself i have always felt that I’m fine and it’s everyone else who has the problem with it.
I feel that psychiatry really needs to go back to the “causes distress and impairment” model when diagnosing.
That is cool. Fifteen minutes of fame!
I get in every where I can!
