New edition of mental illness guide makes us all insane

The DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, is a standard tool used by psychiatrists and psychologists to assess whether someone is mentally ill.  A new edition being proposed by a panel of the American Psychological Association, has opened up whole new categories of mental illness, and considerable controversy.  If you throw a temper tantrum three times a week, are you mentally ill?  If you can't get aroused sexually, is that a mental illness?  Click on this link to read an article about the controversy from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune (1-29-12).  Here is a link to a webpage about the new DSM.
