			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The DSM V, fifth edition of <em>The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</em> is being worked on by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for release in 2013.  Again, they continue to sit around making up things as they go.  This must stop!  We need your support!</p>

<p><strong>Comments from Dr. Dan Edmunds, psychologist, on the fraud of psychiatry’s bible (DSM V)</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8220;The current revision process of the American Psychiatric Association regarding the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is lacking in any objective science. It appears that the creation of new &#8216;disorders&#8217; and the re-classification of some existent disorders are fueled by political machinations and not by any true desire to aid distressed persons. It is<span id="more-739"></span> evident that these revisions are also heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry&#8217;s excessive involvement in the psychiatric system. Each edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual includes &#8216;newly found&#8217; disorders, to the point where almost all persons could be fit into one of these labels. With true medicine, we see that new drugs are developed to help with existing, objectively defined, organic problems. Not so with psychiatry where existing drugs are used for subjectively defined &#8217;disorders&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
