The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has served as a guide for treating mental symptoms. But how did it originate and does it have a secure model to explain mental disorders? This episode aims to discuss concerns about the DSM that some psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists have posed. If such a concern has validity, then we must be careful how we apply it to all populations, including the ever growing segment that has reported unusual experiences. What we don't want to do as professionals is quickly pathologize only to recant our decision, something that has happened more than once in the field.
