DSM 5

They are finally getting ready to print the new DSM 5 within the next year or so.  It will be a pain to relearn and implement changes around America but it will distribute diagnosis a lot more effectively and be better for the younger generation of people to have equal opportunities.  I just spent the past few hours reading the revisions and found some interesting diagnosis they are completely adding to our psychiatric field of medicine...
Such As:

Late Language Emergence
Voice Disorder
Hoarding Disorder
Skin Picking Disorder
Olfactory Reference Syndrome
Removing the term Dementia and adding Major Neurocognitive Disorder
