BPDtrans, I think it is important to realize that the DSM is, to an extent, faulty. Most opinions about mental health are subjective. What exactly is normal? Who decided? The problem that I have is that promiscuity and substance abuse often listed as symptoms for things. How many partners makes one promiscuous? How many drinks makes someone a person with a substance abuse problem? I am salty over the fact that gender identity disorder is in the DSM.
