It's crap I know. The ethical and logical defenitions of a good psychologist, and 'disorder' (which I often throw at people who go HEY YOU NEED HELP) are a lot different from what even the industry itself can make them out to be.
But it's still true to say that the (rare) psychologist who tries to help you function is the good shrink and the others are corrupt sick selfish bastards. More or less.
Technically you can still be 'abnormal' I think. For example they might try and help you control yourself not to burst into song in the middle of your work office, but they SHOULDN'T stop you doing it anywhere else. (Except where it classes of breach of the peace of course)
.... I sound terrible. This is why I shouldn't post in the mornings. Did my point get across?
