I can see why that thread would make you feel that way, Bott.
I don't know where these wannabes get the idea that mental health professionals aren't willing to address BIID.
Since I have Bipolar, I've done ALOT of reading on various mental illnesses and have found a good deal of research on BIID.
And Jillio, I think you're right. I highly doubt that BIID will be added to the DSM-V.
Personally, I think these wannabes would rather continue with their behavior for attention's sake than to work with a tdoc (therapist) who can help them improve their overall self-esteem. That's sad, if you ask me.
