Sometimes I just want to throw the DSM at these idiot doctors...
"ODD is a childhood behavioral condition characterised by irritable mood, deliberately annoying or insubordinate behavior, and frequent vindictiveness."
AKA "puberty."
Honestly, some of the things that get labeled mental disorders these days are getting ridiculous. Any day now they're going to make criticising the government into some nonsense like Establishment and Order Defiance Syndrome and force pills down the throats of anyone who says the slightest thing against the government!
If you don't think it can happen, remember that homosexuality and being transgender were both listed as mental illnesses in the DSM until recently.
