I know I have a Coffee Addiction, but a Mental Disorder?

The American Psychiatric Association has been at it again. One of the latest entries in the DSM "The Handbook of Mental Disorders", is the Caffeine Disorder. If you are a coffee drinker and get a headache when you don't drink coffee, you can now get free Prozac, paid for by your insurance company. This is because the DSM is used as a shopping list and if it is in the DSM, you can prescribe it. This is total B.S. The disorders entered into the DSM are voted on by a group of psychs each year and they have admitted there is no scientific evidence to back up these disorders. Here is the latest caffeine related disorder.
Anyone who feels this is a bunch of B.S. should check out the CCHR website as they are doing an excellent job of exposing these frauds.
