      I don’t deny that there are issues or that these may be issues, but your source is a company offering to sell an alternative means of mental health support, not an institution of psychological research or a professional organization of psychological researchers.

      The fact that they brought it up as some kind of gotcha kind of shows they don’t know what they’re talking about.

      I’m no expert, either, but I’ve at least read books from credentialed psychologists who said the same thing as that article. One even called it a “rule of thumb,” a tool to help guide you in the right direction.

        My thoughts the same. Almost every time I see the DSM-5 mentioned, it’s by someone using it as a defense in a made up argument.
