[QUOTE="klmno, post: 340792, member: 3699"] Interesting perspective- I was looking at it like if he's explosive due to inadequately treated depression or PTSD or whatever, then it is indicative of mental illness but the fear is that they would never look any deeper than this new diagnosis in order to uncover the depression or PTSD or whatever. (I'm one who views PTSD and addictions as mental illness.) And, for the cases (whatever percentage that might be) where it is either a spoiled brat throwing a fit or the results of a society where people aren't allowed to discipline children without fear of false accusations of abuse so the kid goes amuck, is that child, too, going to get this diagnosis? I can see tho that this could be similar to anxiety in regards to diagnosis'ing- sometimes anxiety is a result of a chemical imbalance Biological), sometimes it is the result of other issues (PTSD), and sometimes it is a stand-alone psycholigical issue. ETA: Maybe I'm in a minority here by believing that most, [U]but not all[/U], kids who don't fit the norm in behavior expectations are mentally ill. I'm not sure what others' stance on this is. That doesn't mean I think it's the kid's fault, or the parent's- I think many times it's a result of our societal changes the past 20 years. Some of those changes have been good, but in my humble opinion, some have left parents and our kids living in a state of confusion. [/QUOTE]
