The DSM's unscientific labels often lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and discrimination as well as unnecessary over-prescription of dangerous psychiatric medications.

disorders such as diabetes, heart problems, weight gain and other
serious conditions." - Paula J. Caplan, Ph.D., clinical and research psychologist,
