"Starting Sept. 1, the inability to recognize one’s psychiatric condition, or anosognosia, will be grounds for a law enforcement officer to detain an individual if it could lead to harm.

In such cases, a doctor would evaluate the patient’s mental health within 12 hours, and, if deemed necessary, could initiate a series of steps that could lead to a judge deciding whether to court-order treatment. Anosognosia is a result of physical changes to the brain, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and is common with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder."

    Police: “You’re mentally ill.”

    Person: “Er no I’m not?”

    Police: “Looks like anosognosia, get on the ground, now.”

      As if.

      We’re about to see a resurgence in hysteria diagnoses.

      Anytime there’s a woman that says something you don’t like…shes hysterical. Bring her to the asylum and give her a lobotomy and/or a hysterectomy, and see if they improve.

      These were common medical procedures in “the good ol days” that MAGA harkens back to…the mid 20th century. Not distant past or far away.

      And yes, it was used to abuse and control women, far more than any noble reason.

      Nice little side-effect of a hysterectomy is you can nut inside and never have to worry about babies or making Jesus cry.

      What’s the over/under on hysteria getting into the next edition of the DSM?

      Edit to add: what’s really great about this round (not) is we’ve got organized armies of virgins that are conditioned through chauvinist “influencers” and unlimited free porn to objectify and belittle women openly.

      Buckle up ladies. And arm up, too. Gonna get worse before it gets better.

      Person: a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind.

      Police: oh, carry on.
