The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is proposing an addition to their DSM codes that could potentially allow patients with difficult-to-diagnosis conditions – like fibromyalgia, ME/CFS (aka chronic fatigue syndrome), Gulf War Syndrome, and other chronic pain conditions – to be diagnosed as  having a psychiatric disorder.  Their deadline for accepting comments on this proposal is tomorrow, June 15, so we have to act fast if we are to have any hope of preventing this new diagnosis.
