The hosts analyze the research cited by *The New York Times* and *Psychology Today* supporting gender-affirming care, noting that many studies are from 2020 with small sample sizes. They highlight the lack of randomized controlled trials, which bioethicists claim would be "unethical" to conduct, effectively preventing rigorous scientific validation of the current medical protocols.

### Climate Change Denial as a Mental Disorder

- **Episode:** [788: Mental Defectives](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/788-mental-defectives.md)
- **Published:** 2016-01-07
- **Time:** 55:12–57:28
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/788-mental-defectives/chapter/climate-change-denial-as-a-mental-disorder.md

Discussions in the UK and articles in Psychology Today have explored classifying climate change denial as a mental disorder. Critics argue that if the government views climate change as a greater threat than terrorism, those who deny it could be deemed a "danger to themselves or others." This classification could theoretically be used to strip individuals of their Second Amendment rights under new mental health reporting rules.

### Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, Daydreaming Disorder and Adderall

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/673-imperial-news/chapter/sluggish-cognitive-tempo-daydreaming-disorder-and-adderall.md

The Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology has introduced "Sluggish Cognitive Tempo" (SCT) as a new psychiatric diagnosis, which the hosts characterize as the medicalization of daydreaming. They argue this is an expansion of the ADHD market designed to sell more stimulants like Adderall to children.
