Should Psychiatrists and Mental health professionals bring a new diagnosis for people that are obsessed?

with reality shows, and want to be TV stars at any cost? Extreme cases like the Octo mom, The Salahis, the parents of the child in the balloon?Should Psychiatrists and Mental health professionals bring a new diagnosis for people that are obsessed?Yes. Psychiatrists and Mental Health professionals don't necessarily see only mental cases. If not then all those children with ADHD will be mental, right? I agree, they need to bring a new diagnosis to classify those people who are obsessed with reality shows, and the people who can bring those diagnosis are the ones that deal with behavioral problems.Should Psychiatrists and Mental health professionals bring a new diagnosis for people that are obsessed?We all want our 15 minuets of fame.Some just have less patients then others.And they go looking for it.If you are patient and let it come to you it will.It may not be big but fame is fame.

In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.

Andy Warhol,

Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it! (Davy Crockett)

Fame comes only when deserved, and then is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

- Mark Twain's Notebook

鈥淔ailure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of oneself.鈥滳harles Chaplin

With fame I become more and more stopeid, witch of course is very common phenomenon.Albert Einstien.Should Psychiatrists and Mental health professionals bring a new diagnosis for people that are obsessed?Hi



theres a difference between true obsession and doing something stupid to get fame.



The woman who had 8 children did not know she would get pregnant with 8 children and I think when she realised it would get publicity she played on it and still does...but is this just someone getting a thrill or a mental illness.. I think we head down a very dangerous path assuming everything is a mental illness if we do not understand it.



The parents with the balloon situation - again stupidity, possibily money troubles and coming up with a nonsense plan.



I don't think these people have a mental illness as such.



There are people who are delusional to a point that it very negitively affects their lives and perhaps in that way they are not mentally well. I know a woman who was bi-polar and in her manic stage believed she was a member of the x-factor. Now she didn't normally want fame but it was the actual mental illness that made her delusional and confused about reality which is completely different.



I think we are all too quick to want to label people with a mental illness when they do something a bit different or that we don't approve of or understand.
