Have you heard what the APA is considering for your children?
Question by ♥Raven: Have you heard what the APA is considering for your children?
Here’s the article: http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/should-tantrums-be-diagnosed-as-mental-disorders-636715/?posted=1
So what do you think of it?
I’m waiting for someone to say we can’t potty train our children because it’s too stressful for them.

Answer by pdooma
I agree that Binge eating should be considered a mental illness and eating disorder.
I think temper tantrums have no place in having a mental diagnosis. And kids should not be labeled as “pre-psychotic” for simply having different ideas than others.
And yes, a toddler can have PTSD. Ask anyone who was abused as a child.
