You mean a book that was published five years ago doesn't include a definition update that was first released two days ago and won't be finalized for another four years? Yes, the same book that countless doctors use to diagnose mental illnesses thus invalidating your snide, asinine remark about how people can't disagree with the World Health Organization because doctors created their guidelines despite the fact that it's far from representative of the psychology community as a whole. adjl posted... In all seriousness, I would expect the DSM to reflect this in subsequent versions. Which is fine and when there's actual consensus I'll be a bit more tolerant of your obnoxious tone despite the fact that based on your posting history it's obviously colored by the same kind of political bias you like talking down to others for. IronBornCorps posted... Zeus posted... Which is literally what got us to this point >_> The medical field has caved to political correctness for decades now. You're looking at the culmination of this effect. Or...and hear me out...A better understanding for it has grown out of research. I mean 50 years ago a husband could take his wife to an asylum and have her institutionalized for disobeying and not performing "wifely duties". Homosexuality also used to be considered a mental disorder. Let's not pretend medicine doesn't advance on it's own out of better understanding, nothing political about it. "Because some things in the past changed, it means that anything I don't like -- regardless of what doctors think -- should change!" >_> And false equivocations like that are being used to erode actual medicinal insights and is part of a broader, troubling trend where society chooses to "empower" people to self-harm -- including encouraging people to not take medication for problems IronBornCorps posted... I mean 50 years ago a husband could take his wife to an asylum and have her institutionalized for disobeying and not performing "wifely duties". This deserves special attention, though, because first, it's a little hyperbolic and, more importantly, because that can STILL literally happen today. ParanoidObsessive posted... Arguably, the exact same same thing can be said of all body dysphoria disorders, yet very few people would argue that anorexia is a "lifestyle choice" or a "natural" mindset as opposed to implicitly accepting that anorexia is very much a disorder, and needs to be treated rather than tolerated or ignored. Also this, although I fully expect "Anorexic Pride" to be a thing next. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:903727605] in WHO releas...
