When something senseless is being done in the field of psychology, how can a writer, who is also a therapist, resist jumping into the fray of words?
The senselessness is the inclusion of grief in the forthcoming DSM-5* diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder.
Therapists frequently see people who have had the same symptoms for years but have had a half dozen (or more) different diagnoses. This is pointed out not to disparage those that diagnose, but to illustrate how blurred the diagnostic criteria already is.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- TRULY A DIAGNOSIS COMING OUT OF THE DSM 1, 2, 3, 4 OR 5 IS NOTHING MORE THEN A GUESSAGNOSIS.
Look at what the writer, a therapist, of the article says, "... how blurred the diagnostic criteria already is ... Maybe the DSM-5 is an inevitable reflection of our crazy world."
You think?!
They're beginning to come around folks ... I like that!
