NIMH is going to create it's own manual: National Institute Of Mental Health To Drop DSM Use

They're more pro-biological psychiatry versus "symptoms" like the DSM is/has been. I don't know that I want psychiatry to get even more drug-happy and blood/medical tests, etc. Not all of life can be reduced to medical/biological factors; Skinner taught us a lot but we're human, not reducible to just biology; we have frontal lobes and I know how to use mine, thank you very much
