Really, I don't especially care about this particular article, nor even this particular topic, but the sensational title pressed all of my skeptical buttons.
And it's not that I need the insight of any academic but those of who are actively involved in the field of psychiatry today. As the DSM is a product of the profession, I would expect there to be professional voices that could both elucidate the additions as well as provide educated counter positions. Specialized language often gets confused by common interpretation which might produce news where there really isn't any.
