So the rapier sharp minds of the American Psychiatric Association have identified a brand spanking new ailment: post traumatic embitterment disorder, PTED. You’re pissed off, it’s a disorder, because, well, we all know that “normal” people aren’t pissed off. The LATimes article quotes the German doctor who “discovered” the malady as saying that a guy who snaps and kills his family may be suffering from this. I can see Jack McCoy rolling his eyes on an episode of Law & Order.
The shrinks are working on a treatment, but I’ll save ‘em a bunch of trouble: forgiveness.
That’ll be 5-cents, please.
I read the article. I don’t understand why this isn’t just OCD. Someone is victimized and they obsess over it to the point where they can think of nothing else. *shrug*
