You don't get diagnosed with ODD for having an opinion. You get diagnosed for refusing to eat for three days because you didn't like how your mother asked what you want for dinner.

People out here trying to make the DSM sound like the ramblings of the insane because of that one time it said if you feel trans you probably have body/gender dysmorphia.

Which is literally what it is, feeling like you're not in the right body/the right gender, but I guess a large part of society just felt it wasn't worth keeping it classified as a mental disorder. I hate politics.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about...

Gender dysphoria is still a disorder and the diagnostic criteria and treatment are different from body dysmorphia.

Fun meme and all, but I somehow doubt the author has much experience working with children. Some kids are genuinely little terrors, in that everybody around them tends to have a bad time in their presence (adults, peers, and usually, the kid themselves). "We live in a society" and all that, so not being able to function within that society (especially as a minor since they don't even have the option of living off-grid in the woods as a hermit) is, sorry to say, a problem.

This is also a gross misrepresentation of ODD as defined by the DSM; here's a snippet of the diagnostic requirements (emphasis mine):

A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months as evidenced by at least four symptoms of the following categories, and exhibited during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling:

Angry/Irritable Mood

  1. Often loses temper
  2. Is often touchy or easily annoyed
  3. Is often angry and resentful

Argumentative/Defiant Behavior

  1. Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults
  2. Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules
  3. Often deliberately annoys others
  4. Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior

Vindictiveness

  1. Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months

There's also additional qualifiers such as for frequency (they're not pathologizing having a bad day or two).

So no, your "eat the rich" and "ACAB" laptop stickers are not going to get you slapped with an ODD diagnosis.

I like that it specifies "interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling"

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

The sibling might deserve it. You never know.

Capitalist fun fact of the day: The word “free” in the term “free market” refers to a lack of authoritarian market structures controlling how people interact.

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It is also important to note that capitalist markets aren't "free" in that respect. Capitalism advocates for a competitive market. Ensuring competition between participants in the market requires strict and tight government regulation. The subcategories of capitalism, generally, differ in how much freedom is given to the market and how much intervetionism is actioned by the government.

Like keeping a neural net within certain parameters. Strictly control its boundaries, let it follow its own gradient inside of that.

Ok great, but what if they interact in ways I don't like?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Then you build the authoritarian structure through force of pure will, and coerce everyone.

See Lawnmower Man for more on this method.

Neat! Now I can add ODD to my ASD and GAD.
