“People living in other countries can no more understand the lack of common sense in DSM-5 than can they understand why it remains legal in the U.S. to own an assault rifle.”

“…a sadness of over two weeks after a death shall be diagnosed as depression if it shows its usual symptoms: cheerlessness, lack of drive/energy, indifference, sleeping problems, lack of appetite.” From Christian Weber “Wenn Trauer zur Krankheit wird” SZ
