My DSM-IV is my Bible

[sans qualia]

I read it when I need guidance. Does that make me odd?

13. Alcohol and cocaine

Seriously, it provides some interesting perspective. I think maybe Dubya has Korsakoff's syndrome or something close to it.

14. He displays the classis symptoms of a dry drunk.

A former alchoholic who was never treated. Always goes to extremes, does not accept blame, can't take no for an answer, etc. It is textbook.

[nytemare]

12. The President a Narcissist??

No way!! He just has a mild case of egotism. And maybe a dash of megalomania. That's all.

My coworkers and I diagnosed all of the maniacs in upper management. It was quite fun.

There's every psychopathology you could want in those divinely inspired pages.

[sans qualia]

16. TR

Fo sho.

If you consulted it's predecessor, that would be odd. Congrats.

18. What would the DSM say about me wearing these?

Ah, the subtle comfort of underoos.

[nytemare]

21. LOL!

Not bad, I wear slippers that are Homer Simpson. You put your foot in his mouth to get them on. They're pretty funny.

19. guidance, as far as? just to confirm that we are indeed the sane

ones living in an insane world?

personally, I think bushco is just one big NOS, they are creating their own disorder not yet defined. if I had to write just one thing down on the assessent I'd have to go with 297.3: Dhared Psychotic Disorder (pg. 306)
A. a delusion develops in an individual in the context of a close relationship with another person(s), who has an already established delusion.


(hey, are you a current or former psych student, btw? I'm a grad school drop-out/long sabbatical)

[commander bunnypants]

they are not otherwise specified
