Ga, dsm v, icd 11
Why do I love GA? –For many, many reasons.
For excellent Literature and all “Kings and Queens
”
And its magic.
At the beginning of my recovery I couldn’t understand very well articles written by scientists but I fell in love with GA Literature – immediately
–magical stuff.
And these days when I sing Frank Sinatra song “That’s life” :
“…Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race…”

I also think about this line:
“…Common to all compulsive gamblers is impatience. We wanted all the good things in life yesterday. We were always on the lookout for short cuts … the easy way to get things, hence we took the easiest way we knew – gambling – and always fell flat on our faces…”

DSM V, ICD 11 and National Council on Problem Gambling
I would like to say “thank you” to National Council on Problem Gambling for this one:

1.DSM V – May 2013
ICD 11 -2015 (old ICD 10 is from 1992)
For two years people in Europe will be behind USA, Canada and Australia.
Thanks God –it will be only two years.
Congratulations and well, well, well…
2.“…Owing to criticism over the perceived proliferation of diagnoses in the current edition of the DSM, David Kupfer, who is shepherding the DSM’s revision, said in an interview: „One of the raps against psychiatry is that you and I are the only two people in the U.S. without a psychiatric diagnosis.”[9]
