(Kids Are Not Defective Part 7)

Topic:
Dr. Bruce Levine joins me to discuss his article,
How Teenage Rebellion Has Become a Mental Illness.

It turns out that pathologizing or "diseasing" rebellious behavior is not a new trick for those who hold tenuous power over others.

this is a great topic - was led to this video by typing in the title of Bruce Levine's article - when I was younger (young enough that I don't even remember the diagnosis) some quack tried to diagnose me with "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" - thankfully my parents had enough sense to not put me on mind altering poison - I was never much of a trouble maker, I've just always been a very stubborn person in regards to certain aspects of my life.
