Corrupting Psychiatry

I have consulted the DMS many times in my line of work and believe me they do not have to change dx criteria to cause more people to be considered as having a metal disorder. If someone wanted to do that, there is all ready a wealth of material to work with. The DMS is being reviewed because it happens every some many years on a regular basis.

Every time the DMS is revised there are arguments like this and it is absurd. As it stands now there is not even remotely enough money to treat people with legitimate psychological problems. Insurance companies do not want to deal with it, not do state or federal agencies. It has always been that way and probably will always be the same. More dx titles will not make more people able to afford treatment. This article is absurd
