In case you don’t know, there is a book published by the American Psychiatric Association called The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, otherwise known as the DSM.  It is used by psychiatrists to diagnose mental disorders.  The fifth revision is due out in 2013 and apparently there are even more disorders than ever before.  In an article on Reuters called “Mental Health Experts Ask:  Will Anyone Be Normal?”, several mental health professionals said, “Technically, with the classification of so many new disorders, we will all have disorders.  This may lead to the belief that many more of us ‘need’ drugs to treat our ‘conditions’—(and) many of these drugs will have unpleasant or dangerous side effects.”  If there are so many disorders, is anyone normal anymore or has every aspect of normal emotions and behaviors been made into some sort of mental disorder?
