Yep, I know the DSM-IV definition, but I was including the multitude of other definitions and examples. There are a ton of labels...social avoidance..social phobia..and many cross similar paths. Besides, I have little use (and see little value) in getting a particular diagnosis, and think treating particular symptoms can make our lives that much more enjoyable. I guess that is why a person with "Major Depression" can respond well to a drug for schizophrenia (like Zyprexa).
Anyhow..I am rambling on too much here...thanks for the post.
Best wishes,
Jay
