Does the DSM-5 redefine "suicide attempt"? Self-reported mental health? This is what is being discussed in TFA. And yes, it is concerning.


It greatly expands the diagnostic criteria associated with "self-harm" and will increase monitoring and diagnosis of these phenomena. Note that the suicide rate does not show this inflection, either in the US or internationally. An omission that makes this article intrinsically suspect.
