Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Why Isn't This Made Known?

Do you guys ever wonder why counselors don't know much about MD, or even why its not an official (I don't know what to technically call it) mental issue/disorder?

Comment by Roel on September 9, 2015 at 12:59am: I think it's because MDD is very vague, and psychologists etc. don't realy like new things if they can not give it solid defenitions. It would be a risk to propose this as a new thing to the High Councill Of Psycholand (or whatever psychologists need to do to recognise a new mental issue).

I realy don't know though :/
