When is the DSM-6 Likely to Be Released? What Important Revisions Will It Contain? Vol. 533, January 23, 2020
These were very important questions that a Quoran on Quora asked me to answer. Given the fact that I have little to no respect for the conventional mental health system, my answer may cause you some pause.
With the medicalization of every normal human emotion in the DSM-5, these folks have proven that they are totally incompetent in dealing with human emotions.
When I first started in the world of conventional mental health the DSM-3 was being used. It was a helpful manual at the time, however, what the layperson needs to understand is that these illnesses are created by the symptoms that overlap with various diagnoses. That many people are improperly diagnosed therefore receive the wrong treatment causing more problems in the form of medication sed-effect with treatment that has zero to do with the cause of the problem. There are no tests to check for mental illness except brain scans that show schizophrenia. Dr. Daniel Amen believes his bran scans help to diagnose mental illness among other things, some of his peers disagree.
Instead of using destructive labels, how about we deal with the negative events and/or physiological issues like psychosis due to a lack of vitamin B12 in the case of one vegetarian I read about recently. Or how about hormonal imbalance or leaky gut?
Most importantly, for the many who are asking questions regarding psychiatric labels – stop doing that and instead speak to the thoughts and behaviors that are the cause of your concern. Too many people have zero idea what these diagnoses entail, so it’s pointless to talk about them. I now based on the wording of the questions that I receive every day from Quorans.
If instead, you focused on the troubling thoughts and behaviors, I could more easily address them and give you much more helpful guidance (as could any professional with whom you are seeking help).
