Yes, you are right about the DSM - sometimes I think it is meaningless, the emperor 's new clothes. Because there are essentially the same symptoms for so many disorders as you point out. Gee, depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia - which of the 498 disorders that all share those are we talking about?

Plus there is nothing objective, they can't draw blood or put an endoscope in or do an MRI and diagnose any of this stuff right now. So it is just the opinions of the so-called experts, and those opinions shift like sand dunes in the Sahara.

Right now I don't deserve today. I had a bad turn of events, I know I will get over it, but it throws me back to the 15 year old trembling, choking back tears while his father screams at him.
