And sweetheart, here's your chapter right here:
Child physical abuse, Confirmed
Trichotillomania
Nightmare Disorder
Why would you name trich right away like that? Are you in my head?!?!
Hair pulling intensifies
Sort of wish I could focus it back to my eyelashes, that was far better than my beard or scalp
the what?
It's probably the most prominent (but also very controversial) reference book for psychiatry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5
The ICD is a bit less controversial and gets updated very frequently to reflect changes in how and what we classify as disease/disorder.
Explain why controversial? I have two autistic & ADHD sons and myself have ADHD aside from the bullshit about calling Asperger's autism everything I've been told or read is factual.
Edit - just skimmed the wiki link. Looks like a lot of discourse around how it was made and the results that came from it. IMHO this is fair simply based on how large in scope it is. My curiousity is given the size of the discourse is it a large percentage of professionals or a small percentage? Far as I know it is the best, most used system for diagnosis.
I'd be mor concerned if there was no discourse.
DSM-5-TR
This made my day
