Thank you for this detailed description . You have clarified my sense of how much the terms have changed and now are defined by the DSM . I am hopeful that scientific improvements can now eliminate drug experiments based on DNA tests . And that one day we will all know what chemicals we need to be balanced. Thank you .

The more I listen to this, the more sense it makes as far da what I’ve seen clinically. I think a really good review of the known studies would be great. Sifting through what has already been found might be helpful at this point.

Every version of DSM is subjective propaganda filled with stigma and stereotypes. Psychology/psychiatry is pseudoscience, and only one of many reasons I have for agreeing with Milton Friedman regarding no licensure of physicians.
