Well today I’m going to talk about an article about mental disorders and the effects of this definition quickly. The article is named “Mental disorders should not be hastily defined”.
The article is focused on preoccupation about the last edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5) related with the answer: what constitutes a mental health problems?.
The manual that’s make a controversial considering that have an important influence in clinical diagnostic and treatment that people receive because is a big guide to medical psychiatrics. Well, the article make a note that the DSM have consequences in diagnostic people because produce an impact in the people with “clinical condition” they are stigmatized for the society.
The author says, for the people clinically diagnosed with a mental health, exist two possible answers, one is have a good reaction with the diagnostic because this make compressible what is happening to them. The other option analyzed for the critics, indicate a problem: the people are been very over-medicalized.
And other important element to considerate, is about who make this manual: the expert. Studies prove as 70% of experts have links to pharmaceutical companies. This date about link with pharmaceutical companies is one of the principal causes to the doubt about this veracity.
The author concludes the warming that this manual generate at the people, the mental disorder are a delicate theme.
