Are some mental illnesses really political ideaologies?...

The site is a haven for alternative viewpoints (some bordering on conspiracy) however the article in the link gives some room for thought on mental illness and the rigidity in thinking of mental health care professionals. Adults and children all diagnosed with conditions like ADHD or other emotional distress disorders , a portion of them the article is claiming exhibit some degree of anarchistic tendencies. A lack of respect for authority, not willing to be goverened by societies rules and arguing with the establishment . For people whom do perhaps suffer from such mental illness are they unaware of a political ideaology which could be seen to be a mental illness or are they being diagnosed by professionals with no awareness what so ever of political ideals that are being mislabelled? Few other points that are made reinforce that point that there may be some basis to the question. Co-ercive behavious is outright rejected where a stringent regime of pharma drugs place the person whom is experiencing the condition would place co -erce them into behaving in a certain way. A lot of people experiencing emotional turmoil crave human interaction, a crux of forming any social group is the need to form social interactions which then lead to groups which can effect change.

I may be explaining things haphazardly but its intriguing thing to ponder all the same...
