    TBF most of the DSM labeling kinda sucks in general because its labeling is primarily symptom based rather than being derived from the actual mechanisms that result in the symptoms (which are currently beyond medical grasp.) Imagine conflating a virus and a bacterium because they both lead to a runny nose.

      Yeah, modern medicine is really still in the dark ages. If we spent even a quarter of what we spent on military budgets… we would all be feeling a lot better.
