From here: http://www.answers.com/topic/mental-ill ... tical-list

Quote:
Psychiatrists themselves are in dispute over how common some of these conditions are, or whether they should be listed as 'mental illnesses', and each version of the DSM is slightly different from the previous ones.


There's some stuff on the DSM list that I was suprised to see there, like Down's syndrome and fetishism. I'm not sure when homosexuality was removed from the DSM.

Im surprised at some of them too. Down's syndrome for instance is a different genetic makeup.

I know of a good forum for people with depression. I don't want to post the link pubically, but if anyone is interested, please PM me and I can send you the link.

Depression is an extremely common comorbid disorder that often occure with AS and nobody is going to look down on you for it or use you for entertainment because of it. I think you should consider positng the link because there's probably alot more people that could use it than would contact you.
