Pretty soon modern psychiatry will label every personality type as a mental illness. The latest from the LA Times:

You know them. I know them. And, increasingly, psychiatrists know them. People who feel they have been wronged by someone and are so bitter they can barely function other than to ruminate about their circumstances.

This behavior is so common -- and so deeply destructive -- that some psychiatrists are urging it be identified as a mental illness under the name post-traumatic embitterment disorder. The behavior was discussed before an enthusiastic audience Monday at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Assn. meeting in San Francisco.

This will be yet another excuse to come up with yet another psychiatric medication that yet another population of people will be taking to numb themselves and their feelings. Sigh.
