Q1. Yes. Look up Allan Frances' articles on Psychology Today, or look at the British Psychological Society position paper on the DSM 5, or NIMH's shocking rejection of the DSM 5.
It was described to me as Student Psychosis Disorder :)
Well under the new DSM they've integrated the various PD diagnoses into "clusters", so I wouldn't worry too much about the distinctions. The diagnostic labels are just helpful guides rather than immutable facts. A diagnosis of a certain personality disorder is helpful in that it can indicate a possible treatment,…
The DSM is devised by the APA, the American Psychiatric Association, not the APA, American Psychological Association. I have no idea how you might have mixed them up ;)
...a horribly sanctimonious Christian allegory? She can keep it.
And Michelle Obama is so, like, the duchess when she speaks.
Even in the UK and Ireland, race isn't used in the same way as it is in the US. People don't talk about a person's race. They talk about their ethnicity or background.
Oh I agree, I'm not sure where you're reading that I think you're judging her! Just giving some more detail.

In the south of Germany if you go back to work before the kid is three you're seen as a Rabenmutter, a raven mother, a neglectful mother who pushed her kid out of the nest before he/she was ready.
Isn't 9-12 months is a really long ass time to be out of the loop at many kinds of jobs?
Mantel's article was very sympathetic to Middleton and deplored what was done TO her, but the Daily Fail took it as an attack on the Duchess herself. There was a serious reading fail across the media at that time.
Didn't she break up with him, as she felt marrying him would put too much pressure on her?
Pfft, yours just melted? Mine spontaneously combusted.
Now playing
Totally gritty.
Yeah, I'm Irish, and the number of babies that were neglected by the Catholic religious orders or stolen and sold to American couples over the years (long sentence, deep breath) means I hear "Catholic adoption agency" and I shudder.
