It's time to travel far away from here!
As the number of mental diseases increases rapidly in our times...
As we meet dozen of phychopaths both in public and private life every day...
It is not a surprise that a new, updated catalogue of mental diseases is about to be created...
Well, hurry up..! We are sure that everyone of us is ready to add a new case...
The relative announcement is posted on the official website of American Psychiatric Association: http://www.dsm5.org/Pages/Default.aspx
Publication of the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in May 2013 will mark one the most anticipated events in the mental health field.
