If anyone has been following the updates being proposed and made to the DSM-V manual over the years, you'll already know that there has been a lot of controversy concerning how certain conditions are diagnosed and treated. The NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) Organization itself has somewhat renounced their support for this new version. You can read about it here if you're interested: National Institute of Mental Health Will Not Support DSM-V.

Like most people, I genuinely don't think I would still be around if it wasn't for music, so here's a hat-tip to some of my favorite lyrics (for one reason or another):
"If I speak at one constant volume / At one constant pitch / At one constant rhythm, right into your ear / You still won't hear, you still won't hear / You still won't hear, you still won't hear" - 'A Small Victory' by Faith No More
"Difficult enough to feel a little bit / Disappointed, passed over / When I've looked right through / To see you naked and oblivious / And you don't see me" '3 Libras' by A Perfect Circle
"Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness / Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it / Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free" 'Am I Inside' by Alice in Chains
