Voodoo Science & Snake Oil The Paraphilias Mental Disorder

Calling all Metrosexuals, Tyranny’s and pretty much anyone that’s looked at porn this is for all you.

Whether you have a fetish for dressing up in girls or boys clothes or if you’re a Tyranny or perhaps you indulge in porn (a touch of the voyeur?)…the DSM has a special MENTAL DISORDER just for you.

Yes, the DSM has it all covered and the pharmaceutical industry can fix you right up with a magic pill to make you all better, you know, normal like everyone else!

DSM-V Paraphilias You think I’m kidding! Go see for yourself!

Please find below a list of disorders that are currently proposed for the diagnostic category, Paraphilias. This category contains diagnoses that were listed in DSM-IV under the chapter of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders.

The Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group has been responsible for addressing these revisions. Many of the disorders that were previously listed in the Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders chapter in DSM-IV also have been distributed throughout separate chapters on Sexual Dysfunctions and Gender Dysphoria.

For a comprehensive review of all of the disorders under the work group’s purview, please be sure to visit those chapters as well. We appreciate your review and comment on these disorders. The work group is currently discussing the inclusion of Paraphilic Coercive Disorder in the appendix.
