What is the source of all the commotion? When you read the text it is all an assumption by the writer:

The new, upcoming DSM-5 "psychiatry bible," expected to be released in a few months,
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
Changes to the psychiatrists' bible, DSM: Some reactions That big fat bible of psychiatric diagnosis — the DSM — is one step closer to its overhaul, a task that has taken more than a decade. On Dec. 1, the board of trustees of the American Psychiatric Assn. voted to approve the fifth edition of the book, which psychiatrists use to diagnose patients. The final edition is due out in May. Among the changes:
•Asperger’s disorder will no longer be classed as a separate condition but will be folded into an umbrella category called autism spectrum disorder. •Hoarding disorder is added to the book. •“Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder” is a new psychiatric category for children and adolescents who exhibit “persistent irritability and frequent episodes of behavior outbursts three or more times a week for more than a year.” Many such kids are today diagnosed with — and then medicated for — bipolar disorder, which is an issue of concern to many who work in mental health. •Identifying as transgender will no longer be listed as “gender identity disorder.” The term is replaced by “gender dysphoria,” which would refer to “emotional distress over a marked incongruence between one's experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender.” The distress is the focus, in other words, not the state of being. Many within the transgender community support this de-pathologizing, though some note it might make it harder for people who identify as transgender to receive medical services, as this article discusses. •People suffering grief had in the past been excluded for a diagnosis of depression during a certain window of time: Grief, after all, is a natural reaction to loss. That "grief exclusion" is out. The change “reflects the recognition that bereavement is a severe psychosocial stressor that can precipitate and major depressive episode beginning soon after the loss of a loved on,” the APA statement explains. •Hypersexual disorder — what’s popularly termed sex addiction — did not make it into DSM-5, though its inclusion had been debated.
Mislabeling Medical Illness As Mental Disorder: The Eleventh DSM-5 Mistake
Many readers of my previous blog listing the 10 worst suggestions in DSM 5 were shocked that I failed to mention an 11th dangerous mistake -- that DSM-5 will harm people who are medically ill by mislabeling their medical problems as mental disorder. They are absolutely right. I apologize for my previous failure to attend to this danger and hope it is not now too late to influence the process.
Adding to the woes of the medically ill could be one of the biggest problems caused by DSM-5. It will do this in two ways: 1) by encouraging a quick jump to the erroneous conclusion that someone's physical symptoms are 'all in the head'; and 2) by mislabeling as mental disorders what are really just the normal emotional reactions that people understandably have in response to a medical illness.
UK health advocate, Suzy Chapman, has closely monitored every step in the development of DSM-5. Her website is the best available resource for finding just about everything you need to know about DSM-5 and ICD-11. Ms Chapman sent me a troubling email that summarizes where DSM-5 has gone wrong and the many harmful consequences that will follow. More details are available at: 'Somatic Symptom Disorder could capture millions more under mental health diagnosis' (http://wp.me/pKrrB-29B )
I looked. I couldn't find the subject of the thread: "All human emotions are mental disorders" anywhere in the text. The text did discus the updates to terms used in psychiatric diagnosis.
"Happy" is not listed as a mental disorder, yet it's a human emotion. So are "affection", "love", "boredom" and "hope". The original post is BS based on an actual story. All human emotions are NOT listed as mental disorders.

I work in healthcare....let me tell you something you apparently DONT KNOW.....once a diagnosis ALWAYS a diagnosis, when it comes to psychiatry(aka black magic)......giving credit to a head scrambler is F'EN DANGEROUS..... a broken bone healed is healed....
I've seen it.....the kids think elder mom/dad/aunt/uncle are depressed/sad/mad/angry/confused etc etc.....they want drugs for mom/dad etc to 'make them happy' and to 'help them eat' because for some F'EN reason it's not normal to get old...so they get diagnosis that are really JUST F'EN PHASES OF LIFE THROUGH THE SPECTRUM OF THE HUMAN PERSON.....
be very very very careful about giving credit to even justifying psychiatry in a broad social sense....
what is 'normal' or not normal......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

A picture of Adam Lanza, 20, the alleged shooter in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, is coming together from neighbors and classmates who knew him.
On Friday, Lanza is believed to have killed his mother, Nancy, 52, at the Newtown, Conn. home where they lived, and then drove to the elementary school where he is believed to have shot 20 children, six adults and himself, according to news reports and law enforcement officials.
According to a report in The Washington Post, Lanza was rambunctious when young, and reclusive and quiet when older.
When Lanza was younger, he would throw tantrums, and was too much for his brother Ryan to care for when his mother went out with friends, Ryan Kraft told the Post.
Yet despite his energy, the moments never turned violent, Kraft, 25, told the paper.
A classmate of Lanza in the 7th grade describe him as "painfully shy," said Kateleen Soy to the Hartford Courant.
His brother, Ryan, moved out of the house after heading to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut in 2006, according to a report in The New York Times . A divorce of Lanza's parents appeared to have hit the two brothers, separated by four years, hard, said a former neighbor and babysitter, Ryan Kraft, 25, in the interview with The Washington Post.
Citing court documents, the Danbury News Times reported that Lanza's parents divorced in 2009 due to "irreconcilable differences" after nearly three decades of marriage.

Lanza's father is an accountant living in Stamford, Conn. who remarried recently, according to reports.
Lanza reportedly graduated in 2010 from Newtown High School, according the New York Times and the Hartford Courant.
There was no picture in his high school yearbook, the Times reported.
A man approached at the community vigil Friday night by the Washington Post said he knew Lanza in high school and described him as not being very sociable, usually only giving one- or two-word responses.
He was also seen as very smart, having graduated in three years, said the man.
He was described as "shy and quiet," the report said. Others called him "reclusive."
In the profile of Lanza in the New York Times, former high school classmates remembered his deep discomfort with social situations and public speaking.
Lanza had been diagnosed with a form of autism according to a law enforcement official cited by the Washington Post. The New York Times cited several classmates who believed it was Asperger's syndrome.
The Hartford Courant quoted Andrew Lapple, a classmate who shared homeroom with Lanza.
"He was always carrying around his laptop holding onto it real tight,'' Lapple told the Courant. "He walked down the halls against the wall almost like he was afraid of people. He was definitely kind of strange, but you'd never think he'd do something like this."
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
