Does /sci/ think that the esteemed Johns Hopkins psychiatric boss Paul R. McHugh is correct in his assertion that transgenderism is a mental disorder?

Techinically he's right, because if a man (woman) claims to be born in a males body, and gender is apparently a psychological construct then beliving you're a woman in a mans body by definition is a Mental Disorder from the norm.

Have they done brain scans? Because adhd, depression, schizophrenia, and other mental illness have patterns of activity if they are severe enough.

It's a brain problem that gets over-complicated to death by various parties with competing interests. It's really just a disorder where the person has problems with the part of the brain involved in the perception of their own body.

I don't think there is a fix with current medical knowledge. You can use therapy to reduce suicidal ideation that is high within that group but not much else.

Stop promoting this pseudoscientific nonsense. Yes, there is ongoing FMRI research in mental health. It is largely inconclusive and not a single patient has ever been diagnosed with a mental health disorder based on FMRI findings. Please stop trying to pretend that "ADHD" is a legitimate medical diagnosis - it's a vague cluster of symptoms

A better way to say that is, "Wanting to mutilate yourself is a mental disorder." Unlike transgendo, mutilation actually exists.

It's literally classified as a dysmorphia i.e. mental illness. Why are people this fucking emotional about it while wearing the depression mental illness as a badge of honor?

A person that has a work how chief psychiatrist, for saying this means that politics is too aggressive and checking anywhere.

Ignorance is scary but politics is most scary.

A chief psychiatrist at this age saying a phrase like this will have wanted to sympathize with some politician.

Too hate.
