    Ah, so all this time the powers-that-be have just been trying to mass-cure us all of this disorder! Suddenly everything makes sense!

    This study is fucked. Brought to you by the people who don't like empathy.

    If it makes you oblivious to how you harm others or how you are being harmed without realizing it or making rash decisions that affect you short or long-term, sure, why not.

    I have half a mind to investigate the document and find the “..debilitating consequences of happiness..”

    I wonder if this was written by someone clinically depressed, cynical and angry.

    Hmmmm.

    Reading throught it, it seems more like a critique of how other disorders are classified. It honestly seems even more applicable today than it probably was in 1992 when it was written.
