I posted this link to a show I heard on "Science Friday" NPR couple mths ago. Director of National Institute of Mental Health, President of American Psychiatric Association and Psychiatrist were discussing why the DSM-V should and shouldn't be used as a guideline for mental disorders, why symptoms are the main focus and not the causes (in DSM-V), what needs to be done to further Psychiatry, how diagnoses (and treatment) are going to be "tailor-made" for the individual in the future, the track record of meds for mood disorders, etc. It was a great discussion and debate.
