I do think people can have an unhealthy mental schema of opposing and defying others, which doesn't go away in an anarchist society. It's not nice if, after fully consenting to a schedule of who does the dishes when, you have a panic attack when it's your turn because now you have to do the dishes.

This schema will tend to trigger more often in hierarchical situations. But even then, it's better if you defy authority because you want to and you expect things to end well, rather than because you feel like you have no other choice.

That said, the APA is authoritarian garbage and the DSM should not be respected.

I know someone suffering from it. It got to the point that if you told them to go eat dinner, they then couldn't, even if they were hungry.

Thankfully, it can be trained out, with time, care, and the cooperation of the sufferer.

Authoritarian regimes have a long history of using psychiatric diagnoses to discredit and imprison dissidents. This is where the US are headed right now. They're already doing it with trans people but they surely won't stop there.

Member RFK Jr talking about sending the 'mentally ill' to forced labor camps as treatment? I member.

Now just diagnose resistance to the regime as a mental illness, and...

similar vein on how slaves wanting to be free was considered a mental disorder
