Will anyone be normal?

未來將沒有精神正常人？

An updated edition of a mental health bible for doctors may include diagnoses for "disorders" such as toddler tantrums and binge eating, and could mean that soon nobody will be classified as normal, Reuters reported. Leading mental health experts warn that the new edition of "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders," which is to be published in 2013, could devalue the seriousness of mental illness and label almost everyone as having some kind of disorder. Citing examples of new additions like "mild anxiety depression", "psychosis risk syndrome", and "temper disorder", they said many people previously seen as perfectly healthy could in the future be told they are ill.

據路透社報道，被譽為精神健康領域之圣經的《精神疾病診斷和統計手冊》可能在新版本中將小孩子亂發脾氣、暴飲暴食等歸入精神疾病范疇。這意味著不久可能就沒有人會被歸為正常人啦。精神健康專家們表示，在計劃于2013年出版發行的新版手冊中，精神疾病可能不再被認為那么嚴重，新標準下可能幾乎每人都有一定程度的精神健康問題。據專家介紹，新版手冊將"輕度焦慮性抑郁"、"精神病風險癥候群"以及"情緒失調"等均被納入精神疾病范疇，并且以前被認為非常健康的人未來可能也會被告知有病。
