Are some DSM5 diagnosis complications of other psychiatric disorders?

Summary/Abstract: This article offers evidence supported by clinical observations to propose that many DSM 5 psychiatric disorders may represent complications of other psychiatric disorders. Evidence is presented to suggest that DSM 5’s linear architecture is inadequate to measure the dynamic complexity of brain function. Of significance is the butterfly effect of sensitive dependence on initial errors to trigger major delayed complications that may render DSM 5 a potentially harmful diagnostic tool. It seems that DSM’s inherent deficit not to distinguish a disease from a disease complication is a major handicap for psychiatry
