The American Psychiatric Association produces the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM. The descriptions are matched with opinions of doctors to form diagnoses. The treatments are yet to be generic pharmaceuticals. This is called medicine.
70% of the experts revising the manual receive money from the pharmaceutical industry. The public may review and comment by June 15 at www.dsm5.org
We need to pull the DSM from the hands of individuals of dubious ethics and put it in the hands of the American people. Evidence based research would get us out of the age of the cauldron and into reason.
