Youre right Tony, there was not the exact verbiage of “mandatory drug tests” However, there was verbiage of *having doctors screen for drug use* Is this a much different thing? Nice try quickly deflecting this verbiage that if from the Bush admin would make the progressives heavily question it.

Answer by African
Brain/Neurological defects.

Answer by brianbelotti
thirty prominent doctors, scientists, and psychological researchers have signed an open letter urging the mass media to stop using terms such as “crack baby” and “crack addicted baby,” as well as similar terms, such as “ice baby” and “meth baby.” The terms have no scientific validity and unfairly stigmatize the children to whom they are applied, the researchers said in a February 25 letter sent to the Washington Post, the Charleston (South Carolina) Post & Courier, and the Amarillo Globe, among other media offenders.

Does “abuse” by Another Cause a Person to Have a Psychiatric Disorder? What Is the Diagnosis in This Case?

Question by HREPrincess: Does “abuse” by another cause a person to have a psychiatric disorder? What is the diagnosis in this case?
I’m writing about an individual who was oppressed, abused, ridiculed, and neglected during childhood to the point of not talking and hiding (even as a child of 2 or 3 hid in a closet to avoid the mother). This continued to some extent into teenage years. Many mistakes were made and opportunities lost even as an adult. The person is now able to join in conversations without the “tremendous” fear that was present in past years, joins in group activities, etc., but is still somewhat socially withdrawn. This person was “damaged” by another, but is this a psychiatric disorder? The person is very intelligent (IQ 150+) and has no problem conversing about common interests. One otherwise would not be aware of the problem just to observe from a distance. This is definitely not Asperger’s. What is the diagnosis?
