They can’t. Inclusion in the DSM does not make something a “mental disorder.” Caffeine withdrawal is a physiological condition but it does not mean someone is now mentally ill.

That’s right....In reality you suffer physical symptoms for a short amount of time.,,,,Those symptoms dissipate and disappear.... therefore, it’s not a mental disorder.

May as well save your keystrokes. The ignorati are in full hue and cry. They will not be assuaged by mere appeals to reality.

People are going by what they read in the article. Verbatim, it says the shrinks have decided, “caffeine withdrawal is an actual mental disorder.

I resolve things like this by disbelieving a great deal of what I read and most of what I hear.
