This quote in particular is worth noting (italics mine):
I cannot resist deploying a pithy quote here, from "Making Us Crazy," a book published three years ago and written by Herb Kutchins and Stuart Kirk, both psychiatry professors: "There is a growing tendency in our society to medicalize problems that are not medical, to find psychopathology where there is only pathos, and to pretend to understand phenomena by merely giving them a label." The latest edition of DSM lists more than 300 mental syndromes. Only two decades ago, an earlier edition listed a mere 106. Are we galloping toward madness? Or is the APA nuts? Judge for yourselves.
