In a potentially seismic move, the National Institute of Mental Health - the world’s biggest mental health research funder - has announced only two weeks before the launch of the DSM-5 diagnostic manual that it will be “re-orienting its research away from DSM categories”.

I like this very much.
At least someone who is up there and can make a difference did and cares that much!!!! Would love to give Director a big hug and thank you.

‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).
