I wonder what the consequences will be; hopefully a paradigm shift for the better.
The old DSMs were meant to provide healthcare professionals with a language/definitions that would promote clear communication with each other, even, if they chose, with their patients; now it seems to be all about insurance and pharmaceuticals ---
I wonder what the "answer" is....will they roll everything into ICD codes...or something else. I am glad that NIMH isn't "buying" the new DSM. Hopefully it will affect research and treatment in a positive way-----
