Shame, sorrow, and loneliness become mental illness ?!
childhood disgrace, depression after the loss of a close person, Internet addiction, and many forms of behavior that have so far been considered unusual and eccentric, may soon qualify as mental illness in the US.
These are the guidelines that have been proposed for the fifth revised edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Illness (DSM5), which the United States estimates as a bible of its kind in the field of mental health, but has a major impact on the work of psychiatrists and European psychologists.
Although the changes that are being made will not directly affect the current clinical practice, which is administered with different guidelines, experts state that in the final outcome they may affect the perception and the way of thinking of the experts, and thus causing irreparable damage.
Millions of people, including in the European countries, may have psychiatric diagnosis that could negatively affect their entire lives. So shame and being shameful could become a social phobia, withdrawal into Asperger syndrome (autism), affliction due to the loss of a loved one in depression and so on.
Other experts, however, criticize the fact that attempts to bring everyday human life problems into the drawer of medical definitions would bring more harm than good, and millions of people would gain misguided diagnosis and therapy, often with very strong medicines.
