Not technically inept, but I really get ****ed off at the portrayal of
mental disorders in popular culture.

I am quite familiar with the very challenging condition of Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and the movie "As Good As It Gets" and the
tv show "Monk" totally misrepresent(ed) the problems as humorous and
amusing eccentricities...




That cheeses me also....except in my case it's misrepresentation of
depression and bipolar the same as being on the edge of axe murderer.


Relly cheeses me also when news uses the term "...history of mental
disrder." The only purpose is to make people assume that anyone with
any mild and treatable disorder is potentially "scary". The scary
ones are the ones who HAVEN'T had any treatment.

Yabut it's easier to identify those that *have* had treatment than those
that *haven't*!
