One example, MRI scans have shown people with left wing political preferences have brains that function differently to right wing types. So does this demonstrate an abnormality? No, just a preference. It takes ideology to turn a preference into an abnormality.

Then there are MRI scans of patients that have been taking toxic medication that have suffered structural brain damage. All these scans show is that medication damages the brain.

There are plenty of alternatives to psychiatry than scientology. Blah Blah Blah…….

It takes a trained expert to administer the personality tests, as well. Yes, Scientology was way ahead of the curve, pushing the envelope, all thanks to a mediocre science fiction writer who once boasted that he could create his own religion, and then followed through.

I do like the Virgin’s Disease. Here’s my theory: girl gets knocked up, misses her period,etc… Doctor gives the family a convenient excuse – “It’s Virgin’s Disease. Marry her off ASAP!”
Girl gets married, a few months later, gives birth, thus proving a successful treatment, and avoiding any embarrassing baby-born-out-of-wedlock situations.

The Scatterbrained section of the Nov/Dec 2008 issue of mental_floss is titled “Puppy Love” and has several articles, one of which is this one. You can look at the scan of Josie’s article on Zinio (note the tab that says “Puppy Love”).

And by the way, I <3 Drew & Natalie's Married to the Sea webcomic. We've featured it several times on Neatorama before.

Wow, your right. It lists ‘Puppy Love’ in the Scatterbrained section of the Nov/Dec 2008′s The New Einstine issue of Mental Floss. Nice detective work!

Well then Timm, what other option is there?

Seriously, psychiatrists are as fraudulent as the doctors who came up with the junk mentioned in this article.
