Someone repeated it, I think in the 90s, and they were all just put on pills rather than being committed.
And they were probably just given pills because that's what doctors to do make their customers happy. The "anti-authoritarian" diagnoses are also demand-driven. Parents want a mental health diagnosis to explain why their kids aren't the perfect overachievers they wanted them to be, and then they want pills to make it better. The elastic definitions of mental disorders make it possible for the customer to always be right.
Nothing brings out authoritarianism like parenthood.
