Slightly extended deadline for public comments about DSM-5 proposals

The American Psychiatric Association posted on its website the announcement that on Friday, their system became unable to accept comments about proposals for the next edition of the diagnostic manual. They asked, because that was the final day of their "open comment period," that people instead submit comments directly to dsm5@psych.org by midnight on July 18.

Thanks to Suzy Chapman, a reader of this blog, for informing us about this.
