A question popped into my head and I think someone here can answer me better, is there any chance of maladaptive daydream being recognized by dsm? Is there anyone working on this or any process going on? Or are we not even remotely close?
I learned that if you want something to "happen" for real—then make it happen. I spent enough years dreaming about what I wanted. Just sitting there and wishing will get you nowhere. I should've woke up to that fact long ago.
It isn't in the DSM now, but it seems that there is a good bit of research going on at present, so who knows? Harvard University is apparently working on some kind of study right now. It'll be interesting to see how the mental health specialists react.
