'Climate Change Delusion' - The Latest Mental Disorder From the Field of Psychiatry

Just when you'd thought you'd heard everything that the field of psychiatry could throw at you to tell you that you have an illness related to chemical changes in your brain, comes a real gem from Australia.

Climate Change Delusion is, apparently, an obsession related to climate change.

The study, carried out by Mairwen K Jones, Bethany M Wootton, Lisa D Vaccaro and Ross G Menzies found that a substantial proportion of Obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD] patients with checking compulsions have climate change concerns.

The wizards of Oz found that fourteen of the 50 participants [28%] were identified as having OCD concerns directly related to climate change and they concluded:

"Our findings demonstrate that the types of obsessions and compulsions experienced by 28% of our sample were directly aligned with the current issue of climate change and the perceived dangers associated with this phenomenon. To our knowledge this represents the first documentation of the significant impact of climate change on the nature of the concerns experienced by people with OCD checking subtype. We suggest that mental health professionals need to be aware of, and assess for the presence of such concerns."


The last line is startling, isn't it?

We suggest that mental health professionals need to be aware of, and assess for the presence of such concerns.


The power of suggestion is, it seems, alive and well in Australia.

The study claims that, "The authors report no conflicts of interest. The authors alone are responsible for the content and writing of the paper." In other words, it wasn't, ahem, ghostwritten.

In other news... Orthorexia Nervosa, [ON] the compulsion to eat healthy foods pure or organic foods, has also been created out of thin air by those wacky white coated lunatics.

I kid you not.

This from the online abstract:

"The majority of participants stated that ON can be serious and incapacitating, and that it had mental, physical, social, and financial consequences."


It's apparent, to me at least, that the field of psychiatry have, or want to, corner every market. Turning over in your sleep will soon become a mental disorder at this rate!
