This is a NY Times article from Feb. 10th, so about 2 weeks ago.

The article talks about how the DSM - the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is being revised.  Many definitions of disorders are changing - some may be subsumed by other disorders (ex: Asperger’s may become a part of autism spectrum disorder) and some may change entirely (ex: sex addiction becomes hypersexuality).

These revisions can have enormous consequences socially, medically, and legally.  The lines between what is “normal and not normal, between eccentricity and illness, between self-indulgence and self-destruction” may be changing.  How society, then stigmatizes these disorders may thus change.
