The remarkably controversial development of DSM-V took another major turn with the revelation that two proposed changes are now being dropped (click here to read a summary). Both Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome and Mixed Anxiety Depressive Disorder have been removed from consideration as new diagnoses. I don't have time to reflect much on these changes this morning, but wanted to share the link and invite your thoughts on this shift and others you'd like to see in the forthcoming diagnostic manual.
