The DSM now contains three times as many disorders as it did in 1952 and is more than seven times longer than that first edition. The jury is still out on whether the dozens of new additions hold up to scientific scrutiny. Robert Spitzer, editor of two previous editions, including the one that formally approved post-traumatic stress disorder, recently conceded that his colleagues must now "save PTSD from itself."

I dont exactly trust the field of psychology. diagnosis, I believe ,are merely created to appease the popular tastes and distastes of the time. I think if you are using a substance that isnt causing you to harm others or become unproductive, have at it and if you ABUSE it, so that you do harm to others or become useless, take responsibility for your choice and do something about it. The same with casual sex,, if you are of the opinion that casual sex is alright, its kind of hypocritical to limit how casual that sex should be for others,, whatever their particular fetish..

people choose to do what feels good to them, if it works out to do harm instead, and if enough people with money are doing it,,the medical field comes rushing in to absolve them of responsibility and make them victims,,,,sigh
