Psychiatric Disorder News

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was originally published in 1952, listing a total of 28 psychiatric mental disorders. The current issue lists 357.

So, on average more than five new mental disorders are identified and formally recognized each year.

Among those recommended for the next edition of the manual is the picky eater disorder.
