The Dumbing Down of the American Public – Part III

April 25, 2014 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Where Do Mental Health Disorders Come From?

Part III of a Five-Part Series

Diagnostic Statistic Manual - 5A marked increase in the consumption of psychiatric drugs is occurring simultaneously with an increase in suicides, violence on our streets, and Social Security disability claims. Is there a relationship?

The fifth revision of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, otherwise known as the DSM-5 was released in May 2013 and has been the subject of scathing criticism by psychiatrists and psychologists due to its lack of science and reliability. Within it the list of  (insurance-reimbursed) “billable conditions” grew to include Caffeine Disorder, Jet Lag and Mathematics Disorder, to name a few. The DSM IV (the prior edition) created a 40-fold increase in child bipolar diagnosis from the prior edition and an epidemic of dangerous antipsychotic prescriptions for small children.

Please join us for a riveting discussion outlining the scientific failure of the DSM-5 and the implication for adults, youth and children.

Join us Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 2 pm or 6 pm.

Rule No. 6

June 13, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in, apologetic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him: “Peters,” he says, “kindly remember Rule Number 6,” whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes and withdraws. The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by an hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: “Marie, please remember Rule Number 6.” Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology. When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: “My dear friend, I’ve seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?” “Very simple,” replies the resident prime minister. “Rule number 6 is ‘Don’t take yourself so seriously.’ ” “Ah,” says his visitor, “that is a fine rule.” After a moment of pondering, he inquires, “And what, may I ask, are the other rules?”

“There aren’t any.”

Confidence

June 11, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Bernie Siegel MDThere’s a story about two businessmen who were driving to an important meeting. Each was to receive $50,000 tax free, but they had to get there in an hour. On the way, each had a flat tire. The first businessman got out, looked in the trunk and found he had not jack. He looked at his watch, saw that he had to reach his appointment within ten minutes, and had a heart attack on the spot. The other businessman looked in the trunk and also had no jack. He stood by the car. A passerby stopped, changed his tire for him, and he made his appointment in time.

I subscribe to the Jungian idea of synchronicity, or meaningful coincidence. I believe that there are very few accidents. After one of my talks a man handed me a card on which was written, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
