In the Psychiatric field every Doctors Bible is the DSMV-IV Diagnoistic something or other, the IV stands for 4.

It basicially is a checklist of certain behaviours, experiences and symptoms that if an individual displays, leads to a diagnosis. You get to put a name on your special brand of lunacy.

It is revised, edited and updated, and this is the fourth Version.

In this last version, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). has been addedand now individuals experiencing certain behaviours, experiences and sypmptoms can add themselves to the growing list of the mentally ill.

Do not get me wrong. I believe that we all have our struggles, some deeper and darker than others, so this is not to dishonor anyone. I hear ya.

What this is leading up to is I think I have SATOW ( pronounced say toe). I am also sure this will make the DSMV-V.

I'll keep you posted.
