• Quotes Worth Noting

  "... the goal of validating these syndromes and discovering common etiologies has remained elusive. Despite many proposed candidates, not one laboratory marker has been found to be specific in identifying any of the DSM-defined syndromes... With regard to treatment, lack of treatment specificity is the rule rather than the exception." --p.xviii, A Research Agenda for DSM-V , American Psychiatric Association (2002).
